Our pedagogical model has the following objectives:
Teach to Be
Teach to Think
Teach to Learn
“Return home not only wiser, but better”
This phrase by St. Ignatius summarizes the heart of our pedagogy: forming integral individuals who are capable of thinking deeply, acting with discernment, and learning throughout life.
At Colegio San José, teaching to be, teaching to think, and teaching to learn becomes a path that unites academic growth with human and spiritual development. In this way, every educational experience invites our students not only to acquire knowledge, but also to become conscious, competent, compassionate, and committed women and men who work for the common good.
The five steps of the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm are:
Considers each student’s context and personal reality.
Promotes teaching and formation processes, using diverse methodologies, that become learning experiences—cognitive, psychomotor, emotional, or imaginative.
Invites the student to a deep reflection that allows them to recognize the human value and meaning of what they learn.
Encourages significant transformations in the student so they may make internal decisions and carry out external actions, developing competencies that enable them to face new situations.
Includes a comprehensive evaluation that takes into account all the elements involved in the learning process.
