School’s philosophy

The idea of St. Benedict’s gymnasium is a ship sailing in the ocean of life with its steersman and guide St. Benedict ahead. St. Benedict is a teacher who teaches us in his life where true values are: respect for order and work, human dignity and freedom, tolerance and compassion. We believe that every member of our community can achieve his personal excellence if we develop the personality comprehensively and seek for physical, mental, spiritual, social and emotional maturity. In our daily school life we follow St. Benedict’s teaching, with the motto Ora et Labora (Pray and Work).
