OUR SCHOOL MOTTO
慎思力行
Virtus et Scientia
Since our founding more than 60 years ago in 1962, we have stayed true to our motto of “Virtue and Knowledge.” Our founder, Dr. Thomas T.S. Liang chose these guiding principles from the very beginning of our inception and we remain dedicated to providing quality education to our leaders of tomorrow to this day.
Our Mission
St. Johannes College’s mission is to educate and empower the youth, our leaders of tomorrow. We seek to accomplish this through our bespoke teaching methods. By beginning in the classroom, we pursue academic excellence, accelerated learning, the frequent exchange of new ideas to form innovative ways of knowledge acquisition and connectivity.
In addition to this, an interactive curriculum is carefully monitored and regulated annually, ultimately transforming the students’ educational experience into a transcendent one. This enables them to embark on a journey which solidifies their foundations, expands their horizons and prepares them for future endeavours.
At St. Johannes College, we constantly look for new and innovative ways to enrich our student’s learning experiences and to lead our students to become independent well-rounded learners.
At St. Johannes College, we will create effective communicators and the leaders of tomorrow.
