Anall-through school (also known as anintegrated school) educates young people throughout multipleeducational stages, generally throughoutchildhood andadolescence.

The term "all-through" can be legitimately applied to establishments in many different circumstances, but one commonly accepted definition is "schools which include at least two stages of a young person's education within the one establishment".^[1]

Privateeducational institutions in thePhilippines can offer multipleeducational stages.

Examples includeDe La Salle University, theUniversity of the East, Gingoog Christian Colleges andSan Beda University, which operate bothbasic education andhigher education programs.^[2][3]

Otherprivate schools may offer both forms ofsecondary education, such asAPEC Schools,^[4] or all forms of basic education from preschool to senior high school, such as Ingenium School.^[5]

Philippine state schools at the university level are generally forbidden from offering basic education due to the separation of regulatory duties between theDepartment of Education and theCommission on Higher Education.^[6] A short, multi-year exemption was made during the implementation of theK–12 education curriculum to temporarily accommodate incomingsenior high school students.^[7][8]

TheUniversity of the Philippines is a stateuniversity system that operates basic education campuses. These include theUP Integrated School,University of the Philippines High School Iloilo andUniversity of the Philippines Rural High School.

TheNUS High School of Math and Science is a specialised high school under theNational University of Singapore, which serves as the only high school inSingapore to be supported by a parent university.

All through-schools combine primary and secondary education and may provide schooling over as wide an age range as three to nineteen years old.^[9]

In 2009, there were only 13 all-through state schools in England, but theCameron–Clegg coalition government'sFree school programme saw the number expand rapidly.^[10] State all-through schools also exist in Scotland and Wales.^[11][12] This school type is additionally common in the private sector.^{[citation needed]}

Benefits associated with this school structure include giving younger children access to more specialist tuition in some subjects than they might have received at a separate primary school as well as making the transition from primary to secondary school less dramatic and disruptive. It has also been argued that having pupils attend the same institution throughout their schooling makes it easier to cater to their individual needs.

Academics and activists with involvement in early childhood have criticised all-through schools as belittling the difference between a toddler and a young person entering adulthood as well as being part of a general trend of imposing overly regimented school structures on young children.^[13] However, representatives of these schools state that they often provide separate facilities for older and younger children whilst the potential for some adult-monitored interaction between young people at different points of their early lives has also been cited as a positive of the school type.

Examples of this type of school areSimon Balle School, aco-educational secondary school, sixth form, and most recently, primary school with academy status located inHertford, andDartmouth Academy, a non-selective, co-educational school within the EnglishAcademy programme, inDartmouth.
