This is achieved in a range of ways with particular emphasis on developing character through the search for deeper understanding of humanitarian values and their application to daily life; the recognition of the sanctity of each individual and the encouragement of his or her entire development in body, mind and spirit; and the encouragement of a community spirit in which people care of and support each other.
