Marianists of East Africa at PO Box 50504 , 00200 Nairobi - City Square , Nairobi Province 00200 KE - 5 CME: Five  Characteristics of Marianist Education

Poster of the Characteristics of Marianist Education of at the Marianist Devleopment Project, Mombasa - Kenya

In our philosophy and pedagogy we aim to: 

1. Educate for formation in faith 

2.  Provide an integral, quality education 

3. Educate in family spirit 

4. Educate for service, justice, and peace 

5. Educate for adaptation and change

The General Chapter of the Society of Mary of 1991 called for a contemporary articulation of the common elements of the Marianist educational tradition. To this end, serious research, consultation, and discussion were undertaken involving lay and religious educators who work in Marianist educational institutions throughout the world. The process was guided by the lived reality of Marianist spirituality, springing from the foundational charism of William Joseph Chaminade.
