Philosophy and Objectives
SCHOOL PHILOSOPHY
San Lorenzo School, a reputable center for youth education, strongly believes that quality education is extremely essential to the growth of a strong nation through the development of its people with firmly-rooted heritage but globally competent character.
It begins by establishing a valuable partnership with parents in a community in developing their children, consistently maintaining and inculcating the promotion and furtherance of the purpose of their children by helping them harness their full potentials to become the best persons that they can be – as creative social agents in the building of a better civilization that can harmoniously coexist with God’s natural creation.
San Lorenzo School believes in the innate goodness of the individual because of Christ’s life in him. Given the necessary trust and nurturing for independence, consistent training and guidance in Christian moral values, and a prepared environment, the child will spontaneously constitute into a person who will be a “citizen of the world”; a “complete human being able to exercise in freedom, a self-disciplined will and judgment unperverted by prejudice and undistorted by fear.”
By helping our people realize that we are all spiritually united in building a better world, San Lorenzo School plans to accomplish this through the child whom we train and mold to be the hope and agent of positive change in the future.
