The Ignatian Teaching Model

The Ignatian Teaching Model is framed around a number of guiding questions:

Context: What do we need to know about our students?

Experience: What is the best way to engage our students in learning?

Reflection: How do our students reflect more deeply on what they have learned?

Action: How do we encourage students to move beyond knowledge to action?

Evaluation: How do we assess our students’ growth in mind, heart and spirit?

Learning to serve – serving to learn

In developing a well rounded Christian person of service in the world, Jesuit education seeks to be world affirming - to reveal a world "charged with the grandeur of God."

It encourages study of all reality, promoting the search for God in all things while respecting the infinite variety of ways in which God is revealed to an individual. Its objective is to produce wisdom and a deep sense of reverence, rather than marketability or a narrow orientation towards a specific career.
