To ensure a carefully complete education, our very first school offered a program of studies which included knowledge about both useful and appealing subjects.
Among others: the teaching of singing, piano, drawing, painting and various arts of intérior decoration. During the public examinations, singing, the recitation of poetry and drama were interspersed between the subject matters.

Honoring the integral connection between the creative spirit
and its expression in art, we value art in all its forms
as an integral component of the full development of
the human person.
Art allows a person to express one's emotion and values;
it is the bearer of life and harmony.


Since our foundation, the music of the Names of Jesus and Mary has continually given rise to the living flame of our mission.
