Character and Citizenship Education (CCE) has always been at the heart of our Canossian Education brand. Our Foundress, St. Magdalene, strongly emphasized her educational philosophy, which she called the “Formation of the Heart,” acknowledging that feelings and affections significantly influence the entire educational process for each child.
With the aim of preparing every student to be a Canossian of Influence, the CCE programs leverage a broad-based curriculum alongside a variety of platforms to cater to each student’s individual needs, interests, and abilities. In line with the school’s strategic thrusts: Belong, Believe, and Become, these programmes work in tandem to develop every student holistically.
