St. Francis of Assisi Montessori Cainta Preschool, Elementary and High School Profile

Philosophy

St. Francis of Assisi Montessori School of Cainta or SFAMSC (pronounced ‘spamsi’) believes that education and the right values are the most important foundations for a successful and happy life and the key to positive change in society. Francis of Assisi was intelligent, had high status and great wealth but later realized that without the right values, and love for God and humanity, a person cannot live a truly meaningful life.

The greatest men and women who ever walked among us taught us that intelligence must be guided by a moral and ethical character. Many problems such as corruption in government, greed in corporations and wars are caused by people who have great intelligence, skills, and abilities but wrong values. This is why SFAMSC is committed to the integration of value formation into academic education - good moral values, self-understanding and compassion for others is given weight and integrated with academic subjects. Every teacher in St. Francis Cainta is a values teacher.

SFAMSC’s motto is “Cura Personalis” or the development and care of the whole being. The School’s curriculum is specially crafted so that the child’s academic knowledge, emotional intelligence and spiritual life are equally cultivated and developed. Through the right balance of academic, extra curricular and values education, SFAMSC gives students TODAY the tools to deal with the challenges in the classroom and the real world. A proper education with the right values will be their roadmap to make the right life choices. And it is the right life choices that will lead to a happy, fulfilled and successful life - for themselves and those around them.

Intelligence without values is dangerous.

Our Mission

It is the hope of the school that these enlightened young men and women become catalysts of positive change in their families, society and the world.

The Three Core Values of SFAMSC

To make this world a better place we must start with ourselves first. 3) Compassion, Christ made this very clear,
