We strive to equip our students with physical, cultural, ethical, and intellectual qualities so they can be well-rounded individuals who contribute to our society.
Furthermore, we put a great deal of effort into moral education to allow our students to grow into people of integrity, steadfast in their duties, and effective communicators.
