An educational institution is a venue where students of different ages are trained to become
responsible and knowledgeable citizens that will one day contribute to the betterment of the
society. It is important for the institution to always take into consideration and put into action their
mission and vision in order to continue pushing forward until they achieve the purpose of the
school’s existence. Core values are also just as crucial, for they direct and guide the institution’s
decisions and actions.
Humility is simply acknowledging flaws and shortcomings without losing hope and accepting
gifts and talents without being arrogant. It teaches us that we are not always right, and that we do
not have all the answers. This value is seen through the way our school deals with our victories, our
shortcomings, our wins and losses. For example, before we enter into competitions, we are taught
to pray and ask God for guidance, and whether we win or lose, we lay it all up to His will.
Community is the distinctive value that makes students tolerable, understanding and patient
in every worst-case scenario while still being able to work together as a team. St. Scholastica trains
its students to become flexible and to learn to interact and cooperate with other students to give
them a better understanding of respect and love for one another.
Silence and good speech are also distinctive values that makes a huge difference in every
situation; everyone must learn to speak gently and modestly with reason and truth, because
anything can make a situation worse if handled terribly. In this institution, we are taught to never
open our mouths if only bad and harmful things are the only ones that will come out of it. We are
instead encouraged to spread gentle and kind words to one another to uplift and motivate each
other.
Stewardship is a unique value that our school puts a lot of emphasis in. It teaches us to
respect the environment and take care of material things, just as all of these things are gifted to us
by God. In our school, we are always reminded to keep our classrooms clean by assigning cleaners
for the day, to throw our garbage in the proper bins, to clean every after a school event, and to
recycle reusable materials for better uses.
Aside from the many hallmarks or values that are being exercised in the institution, there are some
values that must be prioritized first before the others.
