May 18 and 19 (Thursday-Friday) was the fourth quarter examination of USI students. This was also their last and final effort to show what they have learned and try to prove that they deserve to get high grades.  Indeed, it’s another milestone for everybody for surpassing all the academic challenges they have encountered as well as the learnings and experiences that taught them to be a better person.

​On May 5, 2023, students of Union School International (Elementary, Junior and Senior high school) exhibited their science projects for competition.
These projects will expose and help the students understand the environment and the impact on it, which is essential for making smart decisions about how to use natural resources. It can also help them find solutions to problems, such as climate change and pollution, and improve the quality of life for all people.

All entries were demonstrated and defended by the students and individually evaluated by our invited judges, Mr. Viliu P. Buya, Ms.Cecilia B. Samonte, and Ms. Rhea S. Lazo who are science educators in other high school and university.
In elementary, Izaak Agaustin P. Batoyog won the Young Scientist of the Year Award and Sophia Beatrice P. Garcia won the Best Science Project award.

In Junior high school,  Rian Jared M. Dominong  won the Young Scientist of the Year Award and  Ma. Dennisse C. Aquino won the Best Science Project award and for Senior high school, Giofranco E. Soriano won the Young Scientist of the Year Award and Althea Margarette Q. Gonzales won the Best Science Project award.

Teachers do encourage the parents and guardians to attend this conference for them to keep track and be informed of their child’s progress in school. During the said conference, teachers get to communicate closely to the parents and discuss specific concerns regarding their child’s academic performance, social and emotional issues, as well as behavioral challenges.

This is also a call for continuous support and trust to the school in honing and developing the students’ critical thinking and creative skills.  Here at USI, we believe that the success of every student is a collaboration and partnership of both the school(teachers) and the parents.

First, the Asian Vision Adventure (AVA) trip is scheduled on March 18th  to April 2nd  2023 to four Asian countries namely Vietnam, Cambodia, Thailand and Malaysia.  This trip aims to spread the good news to young people and experience Christ’s love and saving grace.

Second, they will have a chance to explore the northern and southern Europe while increasing the bond and camaraderie among them as classmates, friends, and family. This graduation trip will run on April 3 to 30 which will give them vast opportunity to observe and see things closely. From the flat landscape of canals and tulip fields of the Netherlands to medieval towns, and Renaissance architecture of Belgium, then to the classical art and romantic streets of France and to experience the rich culture of Spain and Monaco. Also, to visit the Roman territory of Italy, and the Vatican City.
​Then, continue to explore and wonder in a train journey from Switzerland, to Austria, to Czech Republic, to Germany and back to the Netherlands before finally returning to Union School Philippines.

“Traveling is an opportunity to appreciate and be grateful to all the greatness of our maker and provider.”

It took them two days to check and test what they have learned for the whole term. Now, while the teachers are busy checking papers and computing grades, the students are having their academic break. The foreign students are in Riverview Hot Spring Resort to enjoy before the start of the fourth term period.

​Especially, ​Grade 11 students showcased their musical and kinesthetic talents through their Music, Arts, & Physical Education & Health (MAPEH) classes.

And, ​Grade 8 students demonstrate practical lessons in "Hand Spa" through their Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) classes.

Last Tuesday, March 14, the USI teachers had the chance to have a preview of the new campus intended for the next school year, which will start on August 2023. It is situated at Youngsan Mission Center, Balacbac, Baguio City.

It has a three-storey building for classrooms and a chapel/function hall at the top floor. There is another church across the building, a separate space for cafeteria with overlooking terraces and verandas, a secured entrance gate, a parking lot, a wide open-spaced sports facilities(basketball, volleyball, badminton, etc.), playground for children, a soccer field and dormitory (soon-to-rise) in some vacant lot within the Mission Center compound.

​Although it is still under renovation, the faculty are very excited and thankful for all the blessings and grace that God had bestowed the school.

  On Thursday, March 9, 2023, Union School International (Baguio City) joined the 1st Quarter Nationwide Simultaneous Earthquake Drill.

  The students, teachers and other personnel signify their support for the measure that the Department of Education (DepEd) instructed all schools to participate.
The drill was spearheaded by the National Disaster Risk Reduction and Management Council (NDRRMC). Conducted across the nation quarterly, the measure seeks to educate people and at the same time increase the nation’s disaster response competency. 

​In celebration of the 19th Foundation Day of Union School International, on the 24th of February 2023, students were back on the field once more. After the two long years of restriction due to the COVID-19 pandemic, the students finally got the chance to play, enjoy, and have fun under the sun. This year’s Sport Day was held at Casiciaco Recoletos Seminary Field at Asin Road, Baguio City.

​Various events include soccer game, dodge ball and running events, kick ball, obstacle race, and the tag of war for the finale game. As the two teams rigorously competed in these events, Red Lions persevered against the Blue Eagles. The winners were awarded with medals to acknowledge their victory.
