Mission
We, the members of the Woodrose School Community, commit ourselves to the integral formation of our students. We intend to live up to this commitment by providing our students a solid academic program that pursues excellence, and by inculcating Christian ideals in our students, to enable them to be of service to God and society.
The thrust of our commitment is founded on a close home-school collaboration. We put premium on the formation of the parents as the primary character educators of their children. We complement this through the formation of the teachers, as the parents’ active partners in their children’s education. Finally, we provide formation to the other members of the academic community, as the firm support of the parents and the teachers.
Vision
Woodrose is an educational institution where academic excellence and personal formation are achieved through a close collaboration between the school and the home. Here, the foundations of lifelong learning and improvement are laid. Here, the love of God and of others, based on a solid doctrinal formation, is nurtured. Here, all the members of the school community are enabled to become the best that they can be.
Our school is a dynamic, innovative, and caring learning community. It sets and sustains high standards of performance that are based on thorough research and careful study. Its atmosphere is one of warmth, mutual trust, respect and openness.
Our students are the exemplars of the ideal Christian Woman. They have strength of character, on which discipline, responsibility, diligence and truthfulness are founded. They lead coherent lives. They are the protagonists of their own learning. By pursuing excellence in everything they do, they actualize their unique potentials. Their drive for leadership is spurred on by a genuine desire to reach out to others, for they know that to lead is to serve.
Our parents are the first character educators of their children. They recognize this role and actively participate in the continuous formation of their children, and of themselves as parents. They value the teachers as their partners in their children’s integral formation, and they demonstrate initiative, generosity and constancy in all the aspects where parental involvement is essential. Thus, they contribute to effective home-school collaboration.
Our teachers are educational leaders who take pride in their profession. They pursue excellence by doing their work extraordinarily well, and by seeking continuous professional improvement. They show genuine concern for and empathy with their students, always finding ways and means to transform learning into a joyful experience. They consistently manifest loyalty to the school. They actively engage in an effective home-school collaboration. They are models of the values and virtues that the school upholds.
Our mentors are masters of forming young minds and hearts. Conscious of their pivotal role in promoting home-school collaboration, they first seek to acquire the Christian ideals they wish to instill in their students. They also value and pursue continuous professional development as mentors. With dedication and patience, they strive to acquire a deep and thorough knowledge of their mentees, so as to form each one. Through their amiability, warmth, and understanding, they gain the confidence of their mentees and the parents. They are effective contributors to family solidarity.
Our administrators are first and foremost educators. They are prime movers in the learning community, capably integrating the efforts of the various units toward the fulfillment of the school’s mission and vision. While preserving valued traditions, they also respond to the demands that the environment makes on them and on the school. In fostering collegiality, and solidarity among the members of the academic community, they promote at the same time a spirit of initiative. Their example of dedicated and disinterested service is an inspiration to everyone.
The members of our support staff are highly qualified professionals. They recognize the value of their work as a contribution to the community. They strive to constantly upgrade the proficiency of their service with cheerful and selfless dedication.
Our alumnae promote the dignity of women by fulfilling their roles well as professionals and homemakers. Inspired by the school’s philosophy of serving God and society, they uphold the values of the family and exercise integrity in their professional tasks. They carry the ideals of Woodrose to other environments.
