Integral Human Development

CEWA > Our Schools > Key Initiatives > Integral Human Development

CEWA schools help individuals to strive for excellence, to discover their vocation and purpose, guiding them to understand their unique gifts at the service of others.

Integral human development is about the formation of the whole person and of every person, it is human centred. Grounded in Catholic tradition the call to integral human development emphasises nurturing a Christ-centred spirituality, fostering moral growth and formation, and discerning one’s vocation by:

  • Upholding the dignity of every human person.
  • Advancing the common good.
  • Promoting solidarity, subsidiarity and care for creation.

This enables each member of a school community to flourish in all dimensions of life: spiritual, religious, physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and cultural – in harmony with God, self, others and all creation.

Integral Human Development forms individuals with dignity, who are oriented toward the common good, committed to social justice, respectful of human rights, and deeply rooted in solidarity with others. It encourages each person to discover and embrace their vocation – their unique calling from God – and provides space for rest, reflection, and leisure.
