Colegio del Sagrado Corazon de Jesus, Inc.

This theme invites every member of our school community to become an artisan of transformation. An artisan does not merely observe change; an artisan actively shapes the future with vision, dedication, and purpose. As an empowering, Christ-centered Vincentian learning institution, we are driven by a singular, sacred Mission:

We commit to engaging the community of learners in becoming inner-directed, globally competent Vincentian leaders who journey with persons living in poverty situations and care for God’s creation.

To live out this mission as an Empowering Vincentian Learning Institution, we dedicate ourselves to:

• Empowering Our Community: Commissioning stakeholders to embrace the Vincentian Charism, realize their full potential, and build a life-giving growth mindset through active involvement in local, national, and global capacity-building towards the enhancement of life.
• Living as a Vincentian Learning Institution: Keeping the legacy of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac alive by grounding our philosophy, curriculum, and pedagogy in Vincentian ideals, responding systemically to the cries of a suffering society.

As we open this new academic year, we pray for deep fidelity to this calling. May we become true Vincentian Artisans who craft new possibilities, strengthen our communities, and chart pathways of hope for others.

Living Our Core Values

To chart hope effectively, our tools must be forged from the very Core Values that define our Sagradista identity. We challenge every member of our community to live out and witness to these principles daily:

• Respect – Upholding human dignity, providing a safe learning environment through holistic development, and showing reverence for God’s creation towards an integral ecology.
• Simplicity – Embracing a lifestyle that witnesses the truth, integrity, honesty, and transparency.
• Service – Manifesting an expression of love, compassion, and solidarity with persons living in poverty situations through shared social responsibility, accountability, and active networking.
• Vincentian Excellence – Sharpening our analytical, technical, and social skills with an innovative and creative mind, demonstrating resilience and agility in the face of emerging realities.
