OUR PHILOSOPHY
The philosophy of Saint JohnPaul II College upholds the total development of the child. We are practically at the service of quality and holistic education of the student. The College prides herself in the educational legacy of late St John Paul II. Hence, we adopt St John Paul II philosophical dictum “Totally Yours,” in our holistic educational approach. This is done through a carefully planned classroom teaching- learning which is academically guided by a rich Nigerian Curriculum, Personal and Social Education scheme, Etiquette training activities, Web design training, amongst many other extracurricular activities. We do all these because Education takes place not only in the classroom, but everywhere throughout the life of the growing child.
Consequently, our philosophy as an educational institution aims at nurturing gentlemen and ladies to greatness in life. This covers aspects of the student’s humanity (personhood, moral education of the human conscience), intellectual sagacity (academic performance) and the student’s ability to take up responsibilities or roles in the future.
