University of Northern Philippines Labschool or UNP Labschool for short is an education institution under the Collage of Teacher Education of University of Northern Philippines (CTE-UNP). This University is located at Tamag, Vigan City, Ilocos Sur, Philippines. The school is established since 1966 and purposed to be a training field for pre-service teacher from CTE-UNP.
UNP Labschool offer preschool, Elementary School, Junior Highschool, and Senior Highschool programs under the K-12 Curriculum form Department of Education Philippines. UNP Labschool is using inquiry based learning with 5Es (Engage, Explore, Explain, Elaborate, Evaluate) & 7Es (Elicit, 5Es, Expand) approach. This approach allows the learners to do indoor and outdoor activities based on the topic they learning.
The UNP-Labschool Facilities is not in its best condition since they have experienced a big Earthquake in 2023, therefore the class being held in temporary building that used to be a museum. The education system and goverment in Philippines are responsive in dealing with disasters, if there's a signal that indicate the disaster will happen in certain place, they will suspend the class.
