Ignatian education is a teaching philosophy rooted in the principles of St. Ignatius of Loyola, the founder of the Jesuit order. It emphasizes the development of the whole person—intellectually, spiritually, and socially. This approach encourages critical thinking, reflection, and a commitment to service, aiming to cultivate leaders who are compassionate and socially responsible. Central to Ignatian education is the concept of cura personalis, or care for the individual. This means that educators strive to understand and support each student's unique needs and potential. The curriculum often integrates ethical considerations and encourages students to engage with their communities, fostering a sense of justice and global awareness.
