RVM Philosophy of Education

The Education Ministry has a firm adherence to the Vatican II Declaration on Christian Education – which recognizes the important role of education in the process of Evangelization. (looking forward to year 2000) Education proclaims the “WORD OF GOD” and brings about the transformation of the human person.

“… For a true education aims at the formation of the human person in pursuit of his ultimate and the good of the societies of which, as a man, he is a member, and in whose obligations, as an adult, he will share…”
(Gravissimum Educationist, I)
