Integrated Basic Education Department

 

About the Integrated Basic Education Department


The Integrated Basic Education Department of Holy Name University consists of three departments, namely; Grade School (Pre-elementary and Grades 1-6 levels), Junior High School (Grades 6-10) and Senior High School (Grades 11-12).  Among these departments, the high school unit was established first at the time when Holy Name College (now Holy Name University) was inaugurated on July 14, 1947.  The department pioneered with 613 students.  After a year, the formal recognition for a four- year high school was granted.  The SVD Administration working closely with the Diocese of Tagbilaran then felt the need to offer elementary education to the Boholano community.

On July 1, 1950, Holy Name College opened its Grade School Department in order to provide the Boholanos with the Holynamian brand of education in their formative years.  After a decade, the administration moved the ever-expanding department to a newly purchased house and lot in Knights of Columbus Drive in Gallares Street. In 1963, the department transferred to the Arias Building (now known as Balay Kabilin) in front of Tagbilaran City Community Hospital along M. Parras Street. Seeing the patronage of the Boholanos to then Divine Word College of Tagbilaran, the pre - elementary unit was opened in 1995.  Eventually, the growing population of the department prompted the SVD Fathers to relocate the teachers and students.  After more than 30 years in Arias Building, the Grade School Department was transferred to the more spacious Bates Building in Janssen Heights, Dampas District. In 2000, the department moved to the building especially dedicated for the youngest members of the HNU family.

After the SVDs gained full ownership of the school in the 1960s, the High School Department shared with the SVD mission. They opened evening classes to accommodate students who support themselves by working during the regular class hours.  Such program also allows them to avail of quality education at a lesser cost.  When the enrolment soared in the early 1980s, the administration decided to relocate the department to the new High School building.  It was the first structure erected at the sprawling 7.2 hectare SVD property in Janssen Heights, Dampas.  Conscious of its vital role in the academe, the department applied for PAASCU Accreditation in 1993. It was granted Level I and  II clean accreditation, respectively. To respond to the educational reforms brought about by the K-12 Curriculum, the High School Department is now called the Junior High School unit offering Grades 7 to 10.

The third group under the Basic Education Department is the Senior High School.  It came to existence to conform with R.A. No. 10533, also known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013.  The department, though new, is strengthened by experienced teachers of the different colleges of the University.  The Senior High School Department offers three academic tracks, namely; Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMS) and Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) for Grades 11 and 12.
