After my observation, I learned that UIC has three separate campuses: Fr. Selga Campus (Main), Bonifacio Campus (Annex) and Bajada Campus (Basic Education). While in Davao city, I stayed at the Pater Selga (main campus) hotel. In this hotel we stayed with other international students and UIC students. This UIC hotel is male-only and has a rule that all gates and doors will be closed at 9pm. The facilities during our stay were well prepared, such as providing a separate kitchen out of respect for those of us who are Muslim. This made us feel comfortable during our stay at the UIC hotel.

The place where we carry out our internship is at the Bajada campus, which is about 20-30 minutes from the main campus. We would travel to the Bajada campus by jeep. The Bajada campus is where the university's primary and secondary school facilities are located.

    In 2000, UIC Bajada was first established on a 7-hectare land located in Dumanlas, Bajada, 8000 Davao City. The campus offers basic education from pre-school, elementary school, junior high school and high school. UIC has a Vision. Mission and goals:

During my internship here, I was placed in the Junior high School according to my major which is physical education (PE), so I taught and observed in grade 9 (ST. Claire) and grade 7 (Vides, St. Ma. Goretti, SMDP, ST. Elizabeth, ST. Agnes) just to observe in the first week and then I teaching. 

    The facilities here can be seen from each class there are LCD TVs, fans, very long blackboards that can make it easier for students to learn the material given by the teacher. UIC also provides several useful rooms such as a library with complete facilities (air conditioning, computers for searching books, lecturer rooms, and comfortable tables and chairs) to support student learning.

Teaching System

    The teaching and learning process here is carried out in a full day school, which is only 5 days. The learning process for each class starts at 07.30 in the morning and ends at 04.45 in the afternoon. The subjects taught at this school are Science, AP (Araling Panlipunan), TLE (Technology and Livelihood Education), English, CLVED, MAPEH(Music and Arts, Physical Education Health), Filipino, Mathematics, and Robotics. Every class teacher Advisers have their own advisory time, start at  07.15-07.30.The learning process in class is given 1 hour. It's different if the class I teach on Thursday and Friday has 2 periods.

Materials and other learning sources

     The material taught is in accordance with the K-12 core curriculum. During the lesson the teacher has books that can be borrowed from the school library. Likewise, students also have books as learning guides. Apart from using books, teachers can complete and search for material on the internet (online books).

Measurement and Evaluation System

     As an evaluation of the learning process carried out, this school holds exams. Here there are monthly exams which will be held every month and periodic exams will be held at the end of each quarter. At the end of the year, there will be awards for students who successfully maintain their grades. It's not just a test. A form of evaluation is also carried out through quizzes at the end of the learning process.

Curriculum 

    UIC High School teachers have also prepared for the intensified application of the UbD Framework and the initial implementation of the K to 12 program by undergoing the training, “Curricular Visioning and Benchmarking” that puts emphasis on the teacher as a curriculum leader. The training’s lecture-workshop construct enhances teaching effectives. The training initiative is an innovative approach to re-tool the faculty to effect curricular change and to expand learning opportunities. The teachers productively engage in the workshop activities, leading to a review of the Development Program on Instruction.
