To fulfill the teaching of the school motto, the school adopts the core values of Catholic education (Truth, Life, Justice, Love and Family) as its scripture and the method of unity in discipline and guidance as its latitude. Every year, the school has an annual theme of student growth, which is combined with religious activities, amicable service, all-round counseling activities, and service learning, etc., in order to cultivate the spirit of students to love the Lord and to commit themselves to serving others.<\/p>\n
Each lesson lasts 35 minutes, with a 20-minute \"Morning Reading\" period in the morning, extracurricular activities on Wednesdays, and \"Playing with Wisdom\" Multiple Intelligences (MI) lessons on Fridays, as well as various extracurricular activities after school.
