“For holistic formation to happen, the school is called to communicate values through the interpersonal and sincere relationships of its members and through both individual and common adherence to the outlook on life that permeates the school. The model that school structures must take as their inspiration is the educating community, a place of differences living together in harmony; a place for encounter and promoting participation, an environment where there is a set of shared values, goals, and a communion of life serving as binding forces. It brings about education authentically only in a relational and community context to become a space that is communitarian, organic, and intentional. Thus the Catholic school educates in communion for communion. In its formation task, it has to seek the involvement of parents, local churches, and civil society at the local, national, and international levels. The Catholic school brings to life in the students the communitarian dimension of the human person, where they are taught membership to the wider society.” – Sir Belindo Aguilar
