Every CJCian to be a Thinker with a Mission, a Leader with a Heart

Values

Truth and Love
This means our concern for man inspires us to search for the truth. Putting it in another way, we pursue knowledge for the service of others.

Truth

Intellectual dimension- Pursuing the Truth in deepening understanding in the different disciplines of knowledge.
Moral dimension- Deepening our understanding of Divine Truth and living lives that are governed by moral guidelines for the common good for all creation.

Love

Communal - Exercising love that is accountable, that cares, nurtures and sacrifices; a love for the common good of all.
Individual- Exercising the choice to be disciplined in body, mind and spirit as an expression of love of oneself.

To describe the desired student outcomes in simple and easily remembered terms for the community, the phrase Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart was coined. This phrase is strongly supported and endorsed by the Board and the alumni.

Thinker with a Mission, Leader with a Heart

All CJCians are leaders: that all CJCians are capable of exercising self-leadership in their daily actions and choices as individuals with or without official leadership appointments. Here, our students are given opportunities to apply leadership skills at the team, organisational and global levels to serve the greater good and to become a Thinker with a Mission, a Leader with a Heart.
