THE PHILOSOPHY
The SMIS Philosophy of education is established upon the basic principles of Christian education, stating:
“Therefore children and young people must be helped, with the aid of the latest advances in psychology and the arts and science of teaching, to develop harmoniously their physical, moral and intellectual endowments so that they may gradually acquire a mature sense of responsibility in striving endlessly to form their own lives properly and in pursuing true freedom as they surmount the vicissitudes of life with courage and constancy.”
(Declaration on Christian Education, Sec. 1 para.2. The Document of Vatican II, 1966 p. 639).
THE SPIRITUALITY
The SMIS embraces the founder’s love and fondness of Mary as adviser and guide. It honors the Immaculate Mother by exalting her virtues, following her ways and desiring ardently to generate Christ in the souls through prayer, sacrifices and apostolic actions. As the founder venerated Mary, he also proclaimed Jesus as our model.
