The University of Cebu is one of the most well-known schools in Cebu. It is a private school that offers preschool, grade school (elementary), junior high school (grades 7 to 10), senior high school (grades 11 to 12), college (undergraduate), and post-graduate education. Often referred to simply as “UC,” the school has five campuses:
- the Main campus in the Sanciangko area;
- the Banilad campus in two building complexes near Gaisano Country Mall;
- the Lapulapu-Mandaue campus, located in Mandaue, right by the first bridge connecting the two cities;
- the Pardo-Talisay campus, which used to be St. Paul College Foundation school; and
- the Mambaling campus, known officially as the Maritime Education and Training Center, or METC campus.
A few decades ago, the University of Cebu was known for its outstanding basketball team, its pioneering computer program, and its school for those aspiring to become seamen, but otherwise it did not have the most stellar academic reputation.
Fast forward to the present and UC has made great strides in establishing itself as a reputable educational institution. One of their core philosophies is providing affordable education and so their tuition fees are not as high as those or some other schools.
They are able to recruit academic achievers by the promise of scholarships for those who were in the top ranks in their previous schools and rewarding board exam top-notchers with cash and other prizes.
The University of Cebu has established a medical school for aspiring physicians and their graduates have often achieved a 100% passing rate in the Physician Licensure Exam. They are one of the top schools of law in the Philippines. They offer modern undergraduate and post-graduate programs, such as in MBA (Masters in Business Administration) with a Major in Financial Technology (Fin-Tech).
UC offers robotics, AI, and art/design in their high schools. Their Main and Banilad branches are two of the very few senior high schools in Cebu that offer the Arts & Design track, while their Main branch is one of the even fewer Cebuano senior high schools that offer the Sports track. And they were the first to set up a private science high school in the Visayas, with their junior high school department now offering both a regular class based on the Department of Education curriculum, as well as a special science class with a more STEM-heavy curriculum for academically gifted students.
Parents with children who are in the latter stages of grade school might be exploring the possibility of enrolling their kids at the University of Cebu and may be wondering how much the high school tuition is. It’s not information that is readily available online and so we endeavored to share here the information we got from our personal inquiries at UC.

Final Notes
This information is based on the figures that were shared to us by the University of Cebu Banilad campus but presumably the tuition fees at other UC Junior High campuses are the same or similar.
There are also scholarships available at University of Cebu for top-ranking junior high school students so it will still be possible to have a lower tuition fee for your child.
Good luck to your family!
