USI Night High School

The USI Night High School (USI-NHS) is an independent branch of the Basic Education Department of Universidad de Sta. Isabel that caters a five year Secondary Level Education (or High School) to specifically less-privileged girls or women who works during the day, so that they could study or finish High School after working hours.

The USI-NHS Secondary Education Curriculum has been reengineered to give more emphasis to Technology and Livelihood Education, in anticipation of the great percentage of its graduates who can't afford College Education as they are less-privileged or belonging to less-privileged families.

In spite of the students' being less-privileged, they are encouraged to live up to the Vincentian doctrines inculcated by the university, where "service to the poor, is service to God". For being educated in, or a graduate of the Universidad de Sta. Isabel is already a privilege (grace) given by God, therefore they too should extend God's grace to others who are also less-privileged, and the poorest of the poor.

Famous quotes containing the words night, high and/or school:

    ‘Tis said of love that it sometimes goes, sometimes flies; runs with one, walks gravely with another; turns a third into ice, and sets a fourth in a flame: it wounds one, another it kills: like lightning it begins and ends in the same moment: it makes that fort yield at night which it besieged but in the morning; for there is no force able to resist it.
    Miguel De Cervantes (1547–1616)

    The report reflects incredibly terrible judgments, shockingly sparse concern for human life, instances of officials lacking the courage to exercise the responsibilities of their high office and some very bewildering thought processes.
    Jane Jarrell Smith, U.S. widow of American astronaut Michael J. Smith. As quoted in Newsweek magazine, p. 13 (June 30, 1986)

    Dissonance between family and school, therefore, is not only inevitable in a changing society; it also helps to make children more malleable and responsive to a changing world. By the same token, one could say that absolute homogeneity between family and school would reflect a static, authoritarian society and discourage creative, adaptive development in children.
    Sara Lawrence Lightfoot (20th century)
