SISFU offers a blended curriculum that links Philippine K-12 education with international degree programs delivered through foreign university partners. Senior High School follows a UK Pearson-accelerated framework with strands in Accounting and Business Management, a General Academic Strand, and Information and Communications Technology, plus an online SHS option enabling dual qualifications with a Philippine diploma and a Pearson Higher National Certificate Level 4. The undergraduate offerings are organized into the School of Business Management (BA Business Management, BSc Accounting and Business Management, BA Business Entrepreneurship and Innovation) through a De Montfort University partnership. The School of Hospitality Management offers Culinary Arts; the School of Digital Technology provides Data Analytics, Cybersecurity, Cloud Networking, and Artificial Intelligence. SISFU also provides Online/Blended Learning pathways, including Online UK degrees in Accounting and Finance, Business Management, Entrepreneurship and Small Business Management, Human Resource Management, Marketing, and a Diploma in Data Analytics, along with short courses and recognition of prior learning (RPL).

SISFU supports Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) through a structured Student Support framework. A Career Counselling and Academic Support Program provides after-school tutoring and identification of at-risk students via a 'List of Students at Risk.' Peer Mentoring and Study Skills support help students build resilience and effective learning routines. The Career Counselor addresses issues such as managing depression, panic attacks, time management, low self-esteem, and relationships, with referrals to licensed professionals when needed. Student Clubs and Organizations, guided by the Coordinator of Student Affairs and advisers, provide social and collaborative experiences that foster SEL outside the classroom. Together, these provisions create a campus environment that supports students' social and emotional development.

SISFU publicly incorporates inclusion for students with disabilities in its Equal Opportunity Policy, which covers disability and mental health difficulties. The institution is described as a transnational university delivering programs through foreign partners, and there is no publicly disclosed dedicated SEN center or specialist SEN unit on current official pages. The Equal Opportunity Policy indicates a commitment to inclusive education, but specific, client-facing SEN supports beyond general inclusion are not detailed on the official pages. Where concerns about SEN might arise, SISFU's Student Support and counseling provisions may provide general accommodation and guidance through counselors and academic staff. The school does not publish a dedicated SEN program or center on official materials.

SISFU provides explicit EAL support through the English Language Center, offering English Proficiency Program courses for non-native speakers. The program details CEFR level progressions (e.g., introductory Breakthrough and Waystage) and is taught by faculty from the UK, the USA, and the Philippines. A campus-wide 'Speak ENGLISH Policy' promotes English usage in lectures, seminars, and day-to-day interactions. The Student Support page notes that English language training is available for international students and others needing to improve their English. Together, these provisions demonstrate dedicated EAL support within SISFU's offerings.

Mental wellbeing is supported primarily through SISFU's Student Support services, including Career Counselling that can address emotional and psychological concerns. The Career Counselor discusses issues such as depression, panic attacks, time management, low self-esteem, and relationships, with referrals to licensed professionals when necessary. Counseling services are accessible via appointments, with staff able to initiate referrals as appropriate. In addition, academic support structures and student clubs foster social connections that contribute to overall wellbeing. This integrated approach combines counseling, academic assistance, and peer/club activities to support students' mental health.

SISFU references safeguarding-related measures in its policies, including alignment with the Anti-Bullying Act (Republic Act No. 10627) within its grading and discipline framework. A Personal Data Protection Notice on the SISFU site outlines how the school protects students' personal information and privacy. These elements indicate safeguarding of student safety and data, even though a dedicated, publicly posted safeguarding policy page is not evident on official pages.

1. Application for Admission
The Applicant fills out the Application for Admission Form. This initiates the SISFU admissions process. The form is the starting point for the sequence of steps that follow, and it marks the official entry of the candidate into SISFU's admissions flow. The process references the required documents listed in the Admission Requirements, and applicants should be prepared to provide accurate contact details to receive communications about the next steps.

2. Initial requirements and assessment scheduling
Marketing staff contacts the applicant and provides details of the initial requirements to bring and schedules the assessment exam. This communication clarifies which documents to bring and when the candidate should take the scheduled assessment. It is important for families to note the exact assessment date, location, and any special instructions provided by the admissions team.

3. Interview with the Dean/Head of School
The Dean/Head of School interviews the applicant as part of the evaluation process. The interview offers a formal opportunity to discuss the applicant's goals, interests, and fit with SISFU's programs. Families should plan for this meeting to occur on or around the scheduled interview date and be prepared with any questions about the program choices.

4. Submission of required documents to the Registrar
The Applicant submits all the required documents to the Registrar. Documents vary by program but typically include the High School Report Card, Official Transcript of Records, Original PSA Birth Certificate, and program-specific materials. For foreign residents in the Philippines, additional items such as an Alien Certificate of Registration (ACR) and a Student Visa/SSP are required.

5. Letter of Acceptance/Offer
The Applicant receives the Letter of Acceptance/Offer following successful completion of the assessment, interview, and document review. This letter confirms the place offered to the student and outlines the conditions of enrollment. Families should review the offer carefully and be prepared for the next step of formal acceptance.

6. Acceptance of offer and enrollment formalities
The Offer must be signed by the Applicant (or by a Parent/Guardian if the student is under 18) and submitted to the Admissions Office. This step finalizes the admission and initiates enrollment processes in SISFU's system. After signing, families will receive guidance on the enrollment procedure and any remaining requirements.

SISFU offers two main scholarship tracks:

- Global Dimensions Olympiad (GDO) Scholarship: Selection is tied to the GDO competition. Requirements include being among the top 10 in class with a minimum GPA of 86% (1st Quarter or Term 1). Final competition participants are identified by SISFU's testing partner. Students who pursue the GDO scholarship are eligible for a special tuition grant upon enrollment and may receive a higher scholarship ranging from 50% to 100% of the tuition fee depending on exam performance.

- Academic Scholarship (Non-GDO): Students may apply for academic scholarships without participating in GDO. Eligibility requires a GPA of at least 86% (1stQ/Term 1) with no grade below 80. Applicants take a scholarship examination conducted by Asian Psychological Services and Assessment (APSA). Final approval rests with SISFU's Scholarship Committee, with other requirements discussed during the application process.

Additional context: In 2022, SISFU advertised scholarship opportunities with a 25% financial grant on tuition upon enrollment, and higher grants could be awarded based on examination results.

Waitlist/Pool

There is no published waitlist or pool policy for SISFU admissions. The Admissions FAQ states that SISFU does not reserve admission quotas for particular high schools and instead admits students based on aptitudes and high school performance, not school origin. There is no explicit waitlist process described in SISFU's publicly available pages.
