Ignatian pedagogy aims to form students with a profile in which converge: the 4 Cs of the Ignatian profile (Competent, Compassionate, of Conscience, Committed), the methodological sequence of the Ignatian Pedagogical Paradigm and Pope Francis’ proposal for integral learning (heart, mind, hands and horizon of Laudato si’).

Regarding the 4 C’s, that of Competent was hypothesized as a succinct and inclusive expression. In this hypothesis, the “competent” student is one who is well prepared for life’s challenges (not only educated but at the same time excellent academically and humanly). Otherwise, Competent would indicate the student’s academic excellence alone.

Ignatian pedagogy, in fact, aims to conjugate together both human and academic excellence, to form men and women capable of service to humanity and a critical sense of the events of history.

Our commitment, therefore, is aimed at forming students:

–  intellectually competent and affectively balanced according to an integral vision of the person (mind, heart, hands);

– committed to political discernment and the promotion of justice;

–  custodians of creation, through the ability to contemplate its perfection and beauty, to ensure its preservation and to be grateful for it;

–  attentive and listening to the sense of mystery that is around them and within them, in order to open themselves to the relationship with the Lord and to become collaborators of His Project of Love;

–  attentive and available to their own change and able to lead it;

–  having a critical sense and capable of project elaboration;

–  capable of feeling, acting and interacting in an adequate and constructive way in different contexts starting from their own personal experience;

–  capable of constructive relationships, of openness, dialogue and acceptance of diversity;

–  citizens of the world inserted with awareness in the national, European and global socio-cultural context;

–  capable of knowing and critically interpreting the “world of communication” of which they effectively and responsibly use strategies, languages and tools, including technological ones.

On the basis of these characteristics and in coherence with the profile of the student present in the national indications, the following competences have been identified at the level of the network of the Jesuit Education Foundation, which outline a “model”, a “profile” of the student we wish to form in our schools:
