•   Lifelong Growth: Jesuit education instills a commitment to lifelong learning and personal development.


•   Value Orientation: It emphasizes values such as knowledge, love, acceptance of self, and social and cultural awareness.


•   Active Commitment: It calls for a life of service and commitment to others, particularly the disadvantaged and the poor.


•   Community Orientation: Following St. Ignatius' emphasis on community, Jesuit education serves the human community and promotes spiritual values through collaboration and shared experiences


•   Pursuit of Excellence: Inspired by St. Ignatius' pursuit of the "magis," or the "more," Jesuit education strives for excellence in all endeavors, fostering self-confidence and commitment.


•   Lay-Jesuit Religious Collaboration: Jesuit education emphasizes collaboration between laypersons, religious and Jesuits, recognizing the contributions of each to the educational mission.


•   Discernment: Informed by Ignatian spirituality, Jesuit education encourages decision-making through individual and communal discernment processes, utilizing context, experience, reflection, action, and evaluation to achieve its objectives.
