辦學宗旨
菲律濱僑中學院的辦學宗旨:
人不斷地追求知識。為了提高自己的水準,應努力學習。人的求知欲是天生的。思考,推理,提出疑問,尋找真理,終身追求教育。
教育是普及的。不論經濟狀況、種族、文化背景、性別,每一個人都享有獲得教育的權利。到菲律濱僑中學院學習的學生將擁有平等的機會,發掘自己的潛能,提高自己的能力。
教育的目標是培育人成為國家有用的公民,為建設一個公正、人道的社會而作出貢獻。學生的才能因為教育才得以發展。教育更進一步培養學生的身心,使他們在德、智、體、群、美等方面都得到全面的發展,將來成為熱愛國家、關心社會的好公民。
通過教育,借鑒歷史,豐富自己。教育加強人們對過去的認知, 使他們擁有厚實的文化背景,對自己的身份加以肯定。
教育使人自力更生。教育是為了準備面對人生。俗語說: “給人一條魚只能養活他一天; 教人如何捕魚可以養活他一生。”有了教育,就能過得有意義。教育不僅使人懂得如何面對變化無窮的世界, 更使人懂得如何應付各種生活的挑戰。
Our Educational Philosophy
The educational philosophy of PCC is the product of the school's long history as the first and the oldest Chinese-Filipino secondary school in the country today. It is inspired by several intertwining factors: the unique heritage of the Chinese Filipinos, their inherent oriental worldview, and the influence of many people - the alumni, administrators, teachers, service personnel, parents and students - who have dedicated their loyalty to the school.
The educational philosophy of PCC professes that:
Man is an incessant learner. He is in constant pursuit of learning and self-improvement. He, by nature, thirsts for knowledge and information. He thinks, reasons, questions and seeks to know the truth. Education is thus man's lifelong pursuit.
Education is universal. It does not discriminate nor distinguish the learners from one and the other. Hence, equal educational opportunity should be provided to everyone regardless of wealth, race, status or sex. Every learner who seeks education at Philippine Cultural College is thus accorded with an equal opportunity to excel to the limits of his/her potential and ability.
The aim of education is to develop man so as to enable him to become useful citizen who will contribute to the building of just and humane society. Education develops the learner's potential and ability. More importantly, however, education cultivates the learner's physical, emotional, social, intellectual and moral aspects to the fullest so that he/she will become useful and productive civic-conscious citizen who embodies a deep sense of love and concern for the welfare of society.
Education trains man to see himself as an entity who shares an essential continuity with the experiences of other men throughout history. Education enriches man's sense of the past. It gives him firm foundation from where he can ground his cultural roots and establish a confident sense of identity.
Education teaches man to become self-reliant. Education is a practical preparation for life. As the Chinese proverb puts it: "If you give a man a fish, you'll feed him for a day; but if you teach him how to fish, you'll feed him for a lifetime." Education thus prepares man how to live life productively and meaningfully. Education enables him to live and cope with the changes and challenges of the rapidly changing times.
