Our Vision
| 1. |
The fundamental challenge
in every society is to create systems and mechanisms that promote
growth, peace, human welfare
and the sustainability of the environment on
which life depends. |
| 2. |
We believe that the
best
way to meet this challenge is to form, quite early in
schools and colleges, men and women of other-centered character
who have sharp mind and compassionate heart. |
| 3. |
This formation lies
in the ways in which we teach
our children and in the ways our children learn. This is the
cultural capital that can make a society strong and healthy. |
| 4. |
Therefore, by
constantly observing teaching and learning, evolving
creative models of education and applying
the models we aim to create a knowledge economy can usher in a society
that is intellectually sharp, economically productive, socially
compassionate spiritually sound (?) and politically democratic all
levels of society. |
