Parental Involvement
EDFAM schools prioritize involving parents closely in their children’s education. We recognize parents as the primary educators and aim to work in partnership with them to support students’ learning and development. Open communication between the school and families is encouraged to create a collaborative learning community.

The educational philosophy of EDFAM schools incorporates Catholic teachings and principles into daily life and education. This integration of faith aims to foster a commitment to moral values, spiritual growth, and the pursuit of holiness through everyday activities. Students are encouraged to live out their faith and understand its relevance in all aspects of their lives.

Beyond academic learning, EDFAM schools prioritize character development. They instill values such as integrity, responsibility, and compassion, aiming to nurture well-rounded individuals who contribute positively to society. The emphasis on “work well done” reflects a commitment to excellence and personal growth in all endeavors.
