Brigidine Education Philosophy

The Four Pillars of Life Long Learning

Learning to know focuses on the mastery of the learning tools, including developing one’s concentration, memory skills and ability to think.
Learning to do involves the acquiring and applying of skills including life skills. Qualities such as communication, teamwork and problem-solving skills assume the greatest importance. The key concept here is “personal competence.”
Learning to live together teaches us about human diversity by instilling an awareness of the similarities and the interdependence of all people. Learners exercise tolerance, understanding and mutual respect.
Learning to be aims to develop the individual as a member of a family and community. The focus is on developing the imagination and creativity through opportunities for aesthetic, scientific, cultural and social discovery and experimentation, in order to experience “personal fulfilment.”
