They say it takes a village to raise a child. A critical part of this though is the school institution and the education system that would help build the foundation of values or the moral compass that will chart the path of a child’s future.
The Benedictine education that the St. Scholastica’s College of Manila espouses is built on the concept of Ora et Labora (Pray and Work). This framework has instituted among its many students (since its establishment in 1906, a free school with no walls) the idea of prayer and work. The college has since produced brilliant graduates such as former president Cory Aquino; Cecilia Munoz-Palma, the first woman to be appointed to the Supreme Court; and beauty queen and actress Gloria Diaz, to name a few.
