Admission Process

Regardless of the student's background, the following core documents are universally required upon enrollment:

• Original Grade 10 Report Card (SF9): Must be signed by the JHS Principal, indicating eligibility for admission to SHS.

• PSA Birth Certificate: Original and photocopy for verification in the Learner Information System (LIS).

• Recent ID Pictures: 2 pieces 2x2 size with a white background and name tag.

• Learner Reference Number (LRN): Verified via the report card or a separate DepEd LRN certificate.

• (School-to-School Request) Permanent Record (SF10 / Form 137): LPHSI will officially request this from the originating JHS once the student is enrolled.

These learners are automatically qualified for the full value (100%) of the SHS Voucher Program.

1. Application: The learner submits the standard admission requirements.

2. Voucher Verification: The school’s enrollment committee verifies the JHS report card. If the school is a verified public school, no further voucher application is needed.

3. Encoding: The registrar encodes the student in the DepEd LIS under the school's SHS registry, tagging them as an automatic voucher grantee.

4. Assessment: The accounting office deducts the full voucher amount from the school's total tuition and standard fees. The learner is billed only for the remaining fees (Statement of Undertaking).

These learners are automatically qualified for the SHS Voucher, but typically at a reduced value (usually 80% of the public school voucher amount).

1. Certification Request: Before transferring, the learner must secure an ESC Certification from their JHS Principal, complete with their ESC ID number.

2. Application: The learner submits the standard admission requirements along with the ESC Certification.

3. Voucher Verification: LPHSI verifies the ESC ID in the PEAC system to ensure the grant is active and valid.

4. Assessment: The accounting office applies the 80% voucher value against the tuition fees, and the student settles the remaining balance.

These learners are not automatically qualified for the SHS Voucher. They must undergo a manual application process if they wish to avail of the subsidy.

1. Voucher Application Phase: Before or during early registration, the learner must apply for the SHS VP through the Private Education Assistance Committee (PEAC) Online Voucher Application Portal (OVAP).

2. Document Submission: Upon passing the PEAC evaluation, the learner receives a Qualified Voucher Applicant (QVA) Certificate.

3. Enrollment: The learner submits the QVA Certificate alongside the standard admission requirements to the private SHS.

   • Note: If the learner did not apply or was disapproved by PEAC, they may still enroll but will be assessed as a paying student (no DepEd subsidy).

4. Assessment: If a QVA certificate is presented, the accounting office applies the applicable voucher discount. If none, full tuition is billed.

Transferring in the middle of Senior High School requires strict academic evaluation to ensure the student meets the graduation requirements of their chosen track and strand.

1. Credit Evaluation (Crucial Step): Before formal admission, the student must submit a true copy of grades or their Grade 11 Report Card (SF9). The SHS Coordinator must map the subjects taken by the transferee against LPHSI's curriculum.

   • If there are missing core or prerequisite applied/specialized subjects, the student must sign an agreement to take back subjects (remedial classes) during the school year.

2. Clearance Submission: The student must submit a Certificate of Transfer / Honorable Dismissal from their Grade 11 school, certifying they have no financial or disciplinary liabilities.

3. Voucher Status Transfer: * If the student was a voucher grantee in Grade 11, they must secure a certification of their voucher status.

   • LPHSI's LIS coordinator (being the receiving school) must process the transfer in the DepEd LIS to ensure the billing for the Grade 12 voucher continues smoothly. (Note: A student cannot become a new voucher grantee in Grade 12; the grant must carry over from Grade 11).

4. Formal Enrollment: Once the curriculum mapping is approved and back subjects are plotted, the student submits the standard requirements and proceeds to accounting for assessment.
