Infant Jesus Academy
is a co-educational college-preparatory school committed to
the pursuit of excellence and relevant basic education.
We envision a just and humane
society of God-loving Filipinos who take pride in our national
identity and are wise stewards of God's creations.
We - -- administrators, teachers,
staff, students, parents and alumni - will work towards this
vision by helping develop well-rounded, disciplined and responsible
young Filipinos who shall become constructive, resourceful,
and effective members of society.
As
an academic institution, we take every effort to prepare our
students for tertiary education in the best universities and
colleges in the country. We believe that these institutions
have the capability to develop the students' abilities to
their full potential, at the same time, strengthen in them
the values that would propel them to take an active role in
transforming our nation.
While
we encourage our students to strive for academic excellence,
we endeavor to develop and strengthen their faith and love
in God, helping them to see themselves as members of a Christian
community.
We desire to instill in the students love for our country
and cultivate their being Filipino in a global community of
nations.
We want
them to be aware of humanity's responsibility towards the
conservation of the earth's resources and the preservation
of the environment.
We hope
to develop in them a sense of self-discipline so that they
are constantly guided by these words they have learned throughout
their stay in IJA: “ Do the right thing, at the right
time, at the right place with the right people.”
We aspire to develop their sense of responsibility, helping
them become aware of their rights, duties and obligations
and fulfill these in whatever situation they find themselves
in.
We aim
for the wholistic development of the individual – physically
fit, emotionally adjusted, academically outstanding, socially
responsive, appreciative of the arts, and vocationally proficient
.
This,
we hope to achieve in a learning process and environment which
is relevant to the students' lives and which fosters openness
and cooperation among the members of the learning community
With
our particular concern for children of working parents, we
are committed to pursuing measures that will promote cooperation
between the school and home in ensuring close attention to
the personal welfare of the students.
Lastly,
in view of the present Philippine reality where quality education
is accessible only to those belonging to the upper classes,
we commit ourselves to helping children of average means obtain
excellent education and will ensure educational and financial
policies that will fulfill this commitment.
