University of Baguio Science High School

The University of Baguio Science High School (UBSHS) is a private, nonsectarian science high school. It is the science department of the University of Baguio and was founded in 1963, predating the Philippine Science High School which was established in 1964. The school is considered a pioneer among private science high schools in Asia.

History
In 1963, a special examination was administered to sixth grade students from the City. The passers of this exam were put in a Special Science Scholars Section (SSSS). This promulgated an annual scholarship examination that formally established the UB Science High School as an institution of specialized secondary education. The school's pioneer batch graduated in 1967.

In 1970, the school received its legal recognition.

With the implementation of the K to 12 program in 2013, the school has since established the Senior High School department which exclusively offers the Academic Track with the following strands: Science, Technology, Engineering & Mathematics (STEM), Accountancy, Business & Management (ABM), and Humanities & Social Sciences (HUMSS).

Student Life, Cultures & Traditions
Science High scholars are recognizable by their uniforms. The gray and red wrap-around skirt donned by the female students are iconic to the school.

Scholars address each other as "ading" (gender non-specific, Ilocano term for younger sibling) and "manong/manang" (gender-specific Ilocano term for older sibling) as a sign of seniority. Certain Latin words and phrases have also been imbued in the scholars' vocabularies, such as haustus which refer to their morning and afternoon breaks, and festina lente which means to make haste slowly.

Aside from academic excellence, the school enables a culture that fosters servant-leadership and independence through its unique practices and traditions.

The Student Parliamentary Government (SPG) represent the Science High Student body and is composed of ministers.

Student Class Advisers (SCA) are a group of students that supervise classrooms during Sacred Silence and Monitoring Period.

The Youth Development Training (YDT) Body is composed of the YDT Director, Steering Committee, and Team Leaders that lead the annual YDT Sportsfest.

Certain activities unique to the school are also held annually and have been practiced since their inception:
