Is there a school uniform for Senior High?

Right now, Benilde SHS does not prescribe a uniform. Once face-to-face classes resume, consultation with Benilde SHS stakeholders will be held to decide on this matter. However, depending on your subject requirements, your teacher may require you to wear corporate/executive attire or other subject-specific uniforms for some synchronous sessions (classes where all students are required to attend at a scheduled time). 

You must also wear appropriate attire and observe the General Dress Code Policy on campus and during synchronous online classes. Your clothing should not bear any images or text that are offensive, overly revealing, or if sleeveless, shoulder straps should be at least an inch thick.

Is there a school bus service?

Unfortunately, we do not have an official school bus service. The campuses, however, are accessible to major routes of public transportation.

Will I be automatically accepted to a college program in Benilde after graduating from Benilde Senior High School?

Benilde SHS students can also access the learning commons, library, cafeteria, and other common areas on the campus.

Will SHS students be mixed with college students in class?

Classes held for Benilde SHS subjects are exclusively for SHS students. SHS students will not be mixed with college students since they have different curriculums mandated by their educational agencies, namely the Department of Education for SHS and the Commission on Higher Education for college programs. However, they will share the same common areas and facilities as the college students.
