St. Augustine's Philosophy of Education
Education is a man's journey of knowing God who is the Eternal Truth and of loving Him who is Eternal Good. To achieve this goal, man journeys restlessly in faith according to the example and teaching of Jesus Christ and through reason which is his natural gift from the Creator.
Augustinian Education aims to accompany young men and women who can integrate Faith and Reason in their personal lives in order to arrive at whatever is tru and develop moral values to enable them to live in loving harmony with others.
Through the guidance and example of parents and teachers, the Augustinian students must become increasingly aware of their responsibilities to fellowmen and readily contribute to the building of just and humane society where the Filipino people can journey together towards God.
Catholic Philosophy of Education
The Catholic philosophy of education is logically based on the Catholic philosophy of life which recognizes that every human being has an immortal soul with an eternal destiny, as well as, a moral body with an early existence. Consequently, education to be complete must prepare the individual for his ultimate life and at the same time fit him for a successful career or gainful work as a member of society. These basic principles necessarily determine the nature, objectives and aims of Catholic Education
