Asia Philippines Private all-through schools in the Philippines offers basic education programs within a university setting. Private
educational institutions in the
Philippines can offer multiple
educational stages. Examples include
De La Salle University, the
University of the East, Gingoog Christian Colleges and
San Beda University, which operate both
basic education and
higher education programs. Other
private schools may offer both forms of
secondary education, such as
APEC Schools, or all forms of basic education from preschool to senior high school, such as Ingenium School.
State and local all-through schools in the Philippines Philippine state schools at the university level are generally forbidden from offering basic education due to the separation of regulatory duties between the
Department of Education and the
Commission on Higher Education. A short, multi-year exemption was made during the implementation of the
K–12 education curriculum to temporarily accommodate incoming
senior high school students. The
University of the Philippines is a state
university system that operates basic education campuses. These include the
UP Integrated School,
University of the Philippines High School Iloilo and
University of the Philippines Rural High School.
Singapore The
NUS High School of Math and Science is a specialised high school under the
National University of Singapore, which serves as the only high school in
Singapore to be supported by a parent university.
Europe United Kingdom All through-schools combine primary and secondary education and may provide schooling over as wide an age range as three to nineteen years old. In 2009, there were only 13 all-through state schools in England, but the
Cameron–Clegg coalition government's
Free school programme saw the number expand rapidly. State all-through schools also exist in Scotland and Wales. This school type is additionally common in the private sector. Benefits associated with this school structure include giving younger children access to more specialist tuition in some subjects than they might have received at a separate primary school as well as making the transition from primary to secondary school less dramatic and disruptive. It has also been argued that having pupils attend the same institution throughout their schooling makes it easier to cater to their individual needs. Academics and activists with involvement in early childhood have criticised all-through schools as belittling the difference between a toddler and a young person entering adulthood as well as being part of a general trend of imposing overly regimented school structures on young children. However, representatives of these schools state that they often provide separate facilities for older and younger children whilst the potential for some adult-monitored interaction between young people at different points of their early lives has also been cited as a positive of the school type. Examples of this type of school are
Simon Balle School, a
co-educational secondary school, sixth form, and most recently, primary school with academy status located in
Hertford, and
Dartmouth Academy, a non-selective, co-educational school within the English
Academy programme, in
Dartmouth. == See also ==
