Mission, Vision & Core values
The vision, mission, and core values that guide Assumption Antipolo as a Christ-centered school community, School Year 2026-2027.
Vision
A Christ-centered school community rooted in faith, growing in the love and friendship of Jesus Christ in His Church and working together for peace in the social and ecological order
Mission
We commit ourselves to transformative education as a Christ-centered school community dedicated to the integral formation of persons empowered to live out justice, peace, stewardship, and solidarity.
Our Core Values
Five values, rooted in the words of St. Marie Eugenie of Jesus, shape how our community learns, relates, and serves.
01
Faith in Jesus Christ
All comes from Jesus Christ, all belongs to Jesus Christ, all must be for Jesus Christ.
We believe Jesus Christ is the incarnate Word of God, the heart and source of who we are and all that we do. Our identity and mission flow from this faith which gives us purpose and direction. We nurture a life of prayer and contemplation that helps us recognize God in all things. This faith shapes how we relate to God, how we treat one another, and how we care for creation. It allows us to grow in our love for truth and commitment to justice and peace in our daily lives.
02
Community Spirit
We should love each other with the same love that God has for all and with the same aim – their holiness in this world and eternal happiness in the next.
We nurture life-giving relationships in the different sectors of the community, grounded in a shared sense of belonging and mission. We foster mutual respect, trust, and love for service to honor the dignity of each person. We accompany one another across roles, generations, and differences towards becoming our best selves. Guided by concern for the common good and joy in our shared mission, we build a village of care marked by cooperation, collaboration, and compassion.
03
Holistic Formation of Persons
To educate is to set a person free, to educate is to transform the world.
We educate the whole person – mind, heart, imagination, memory, and will. Following St. Marie Eugénie, we believe in the Christianization of the intelligence: forming persons whose ways of thinking, discerning, and acting are shaped by faith and truth, which guide one’s decisions, efforts, and work.
We nurture the different intelligences and talents of each student, striving for academic excellence that equips them to think critically, act responsibly, and use their knowledge and skills for the common good. Grounded in Gospel values, we place strong emphasis on character formation and servant leadership. We form individuals who are simple, loyal, honest, and generous and who are empowered to be agents of social transformation in the world.
04
Social Responsibility
Christ brings a liberation that transforms society.
We embrace social responsibility as a joyful and faith-filled response to the needs of individuals and communities. Recognizing poverty and vulnerability in all their forms, we choose to love our times and to live our faith by responding with compassion and solidarity.
Guided by Gospel values and inspired by St. Marie Eugénie’s vision of restoring all things in Christ, we build bridges and form meaningful relationships grounded in shared responsibility and mutual respect. Through community engagement and joyful service, we form ethical and responsible citizens who contribute to building a just, peaceful, and hope-filled society.
05
Care for God’s Creation
Everything good in creation comes from the Creator and should serve His glory.
We live as stewards and kin of God’s creation, recognizing that we are deeply interconnected with one another and with Mother Earth. We respond with gratitude and reverence, desiring our world as St. Marie Eugenie envisioned it – to be a place that gives glory to God.
Inspired by Laudato Si’, we embrace an ecological conversion that calls us to care for our common home and to uphold the dignity of life. Mindful of the urgency to protect and conserve the planet, we choose simple and sustainable ways of living.
We educate and form members of our community to become responsible stewards of creation, working together for a more just, sustainable, and life-giving future for all.
