Values Education Programs

The subject Character Education is based on the philosophy which recognizes the child in his fundamental relationship with God, fellowmen and self. It provides the students the content and experiences directed toward the inculcation of spiritual and civic values and the development of a good Filipino.

The classroom serves as a laboratory in which students and teachers explore and practice ethical and moral standards in daily living. Following the principle that character is basically "caught" and not "taught", provision is made that the school supplements the effort of parentsand community in forming the character of the student.

Since CIT is a non-sectarian school, Character Building Activities (CBA) is offered in grade school curriculum instead of Christian Living. Aside from values integration in different subject areas, part of pupil's values formation is their active participation in religious activities.

Religious activities undertaken are:

• Monthly Friday Mass
• First Holy Communication for Grade 3
• Celebration of Rosary Month
• Weekly Catechism Classes
• September 8 Celebration

Hand in hand with this program, Scouting (BSP/GSP) is one of our co-curricular programs done every Friday morning: This Program offers students:

• inculcates in them a sense of personal relationship to God and his fellowmen;
• encourages genuine allegiance to the ideals, traditions, virtues and cultural heritage of the Filipino;
• citizenship and leadership opportunities;
• develops an appreciation of the importance of family solidarity and the need for contributing to its spiritual and temporal welfare;
• gives the students an understanding of society and their place in it;
• stresses moral and ethical conduct in public and private life; and
• leads students to observe practical rules and regulations.

Another is the organization of discipline and formation center where the BSP incharge is also the coordinator of the said center. This is done purposely so she could centralized her activities on pupil's development by transforming misbehaving pupils into scout leaders.

In GSP, our girls are also formed to be responsible and productive citizens in the future able to contribute something worthwhile in the community and in our country.
