THE SCHOOL
United International Private School (UIPS) was founded on
September 1992 by Col. Mohammad Al Hersh and Dr. Mohamed Al Neyadi.
Both founders shared a great vision of providing quality education for the
burgeoning numbers of Filipino community in Dubai, UAE. The UIPS ca-
ters to children of Filipino lineage and welcomes other nationalities as well.
The school is committed to provide quality education with international
standards.
TIMELINE
Year 1992
September 1992 was the founding date of United International Private
School (UIPS). It started registering school children from Kindergarten 1
up to Grade 10 with its first location in a villa in Garhoud, Deira. The
maiden sailing of UIPS went roughly with about 125 students, and 20 em-
ployees (faculty and staff). The first gra-duates numbered to 8 students in
High School, 5 pupils in Grade 6, and 25 pupils in Kindergarten.
Year 1994
Another new villa near Garhoud area was rented to accommodate the
increasing number of Kindergarten pupils during the se-cond year of the
school operation. On its third year in 1994, the school population reached
to 250 students.
Year 1997
UIPS took over and refurbished a school in Al Satwa to provide a
more conducive learning environment for more than 400 students. A new
educational management was created.
Year 1999
On its seventh year, UIPS filed an application for permit to ope-rate a
Philippine school overseas – the first step to full Philippine government
recognition. The Government Permit No. 001 S. 1999 was granted on Feb-
ruary 22, 1999 making UIPS as the first Philippine school in Dubai, UAE.
1
Year 2000
After UIPS received its Philippine Government Permit to Operate,
the number of its enrollees increased even more, which necessitated the
construction of the new building, to make the school a child -friendly
environment with secured facilities and better services. The new school
buildings were built at Al Qusais, Muhaisnah 4, Dubai, United Arab
Emirates.
Year 2010
UIPS was granted with Government Recognition (No SP-004 series
of 2010) by the Department of Education, Republic of the Philippines.
Moreover, with the increasing number of population, an additional
school building with complete facilities was built.
To Date
The school has been providing quality education to its students

since 1992. As pieces of evidence, our students are topping in the Inter-
national Benchmarking Tests in English, Mathematics and Science ad-
ministered by the IBT-ACER.
UIPS was granted the approval to add Grades 11 & 12 by the

Knowledge and Human Development Authority (KHDA) and received
approval from the Philippine Department of Education (DepEd) to im-
plement Senior High School Program with the Academic Track of Sci-
ence, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), Accountancy,
Business and Management (ABM) and Humanities and Social Science
(HUMSS).

tus of people from different countries must be developed by each
learner.

institutions wherein the body, the mind and the character of the
youth can be fully nurtured.
VISION

The school utilizes English as the medium of instructions in all learning areas except for
Filipino and Arabic classes.
B. Basis for Grading/Assessment
In every grading period the result of the components of Written Works (WW),
Performance Tasks (PT) and Quarterly Assessment (QA) will be the basis for grading.
Summative assessment measures the different ways learners use and apply all rele-
vant knowledge, understanding, and skills. It is usually conducted after a unit work and /
or at the end of an entire quarter to determine how well learners can demonstrate content
knowledge and competencies articulated in the learning standards. The tables 1 and 2
show the Components and Tools of Summative Assessment.
Likewise, to measure the standards reached by the students and to monitor the teach-
ers’ quality of their work and whether their classes are at the target expected, examinations
are being conducted.

immediately. It is the responsibility of the parent to pick up
their student within 30 minutes and they should be referred to
the clinic/hospital to take the necessary action. The patient
should not return to school until the PCR result is obtained. If the
result is negative and there is a clinical assessment of a probable
COVID-19 case, the patient should complete a 14-day quarantine.

probable case, the child can resume schooling so long as they are
symptom-free.

tify the school management or clinic staff. The traced contacts of
the patient, including teachers along with the classmates of a stu-
dent, or colleagues are all considered close contacts (Anyone who
spent more than 15 minutes in a proximity of 2 meters with the
positive case, from the day of symptoms onset, or the day of the
positive PCR test).
