Philosophy<\/p>\n
The home, the religious community, and the school share equal concern for Family Life Education and its ultimate goal of developing responsible personal behavior.\u00a0 As parents and clergy develop and reinforce the moral and spiritual aspects of individual growth, the school supplements their efforts by educating students in the physiological, psychological, social and economic facets of interpersonal relations.<\/p>\n
