UP Integrated School

The UPIS is the product of the merging of three schools whose functions it inherited. These are the UP High School (est. 1916), the UP Elementary School (est. 1936), and the UP Preparatory High School (est. 1954).

The UPIS has three main functions. It is a laboratory school, a service school, and a feeder school to the University. Like its predecessors, UP High and UP Elem, UPIS primarily serves as the laboratory school of the UP College of Education. This means UPIS serves as the practicum site for student teachers of the College. It also serves as a venue for research for the College's undergraduate and graduate programs. However, UPIS' laboratory function is not limited to the College of Education. UPIS also accepts student teachers from the Colleges of Home Economics, Human Kinetics, and Music. It also welcomes researchers from these colleges and other institutions in UP Diliman and elsewhere.

As a service school, UPIS caters to the educational needs of the children of UP personnel. Sixty out of 100 slots are allotted to children of UP personnel at Kindergarten. Children of UP personnel also enjoy discounted tuition fees.

UPIS' feeder school function was inherited from the UP Preparatory High School which was designed to be a "University Academy." Most, if not all UPIS graduates opt to enter the University provided they pass the UPCAT.
