Spirit of foundation
Sincerity
Conscientious behavior is a pillar that supports all the other spirits of the foundation. For example, for our students there is nothing as important as research into science and technology. This is achieved through honest research that cultivates a mindfulness so that students will one day be a positive influence for children. These are manifest in, among other things, the cooking of meals.
Personal Growth
A truly qualified person will always draw knowledge from many sources in order to acquire both an understanding of theory and a developed technique. Learning is a lifetime commitment and only through hard work can we improve ourselves.
Benevolence
Benevolence and service means to lead an honest life. A mind that is considerate of others creates a peaceful home society and world. Charity is essential for a society that is just and cooperative.
Reliability
Human reliability means that we believe that all people are good. We seek to cultivate creativity, leadership, autonomy, and cooperation. That way we can become someone with a rich personality that can be counted on.
Harmony
Peaceful harmony is born from communicating honestly with bosses, seniors, and colleagues as well as subordinates, neighbors, and acquaintances. It means greeting other with honestly and sincerity and understanding etiquette. Understanding these things can aid in conflict resolution both among people and cultures.
In life, there is nothing more important than understanding the difference between right and wrong and a language allows us to articulate this understanding. This is vital because well-chosen words can be the difference between peace and discord.
As a student at our school, you’ll have a keen interest in understanding the spirit of construction in addition to understanding the spirit of nurturing and selflessness. Especially in the Early Childhood Education department through various environments and characteristics, students will cultivate a charitable personality.
In the department of Health and Nutrition we encourage an attitude of study that becomes the foundation for people who want to contribute to their community.
Educational policy
Salutation Cleanliness Timeliness and Punctuality
Salutation
We interact with people daily and that interaction starts with the first impression we make. Whether or not this impression is positive will impact a future relationship. A greeting is an expression of a person’s attitude on life. In everyday life it is important to respect one another. If we communicate honestly, we can make a good first impression. We encourage positive interactions both on and off campus.
Cleanliness
Cleanliness is very important in one’s home life as well as in their professional life. Because we offer such programs in childhood education, nutrition, and cooking, we take this belief to heart.
Our university has believed in “protecting our environment” since our inception. We take pride in our efforts to live up to this belief in every aspect of university life. We want to study and conduct student life in a beautiful environment. We ask everyone to support us in this.
Punctuality
There is an emphasis on the importance of this in our school culture. We have many commitments here, so it is important to keep appointments so that we can develop a respect for others and work well as a part of a group.
Neglecting the time will cause your reputation to suffer and can affect the performance of your group. As such we ask that everyone act with the time in mind as adherence shows integrity.
