PHILOSOPHY

The Dominican College, Abuja is founded on the philosophy of education that operates on five cardinal principles, namely:

  1. respect for the dignity of every human person;
  2. appreciation of indispensability of truth and wisdom for practical daily living;
  3. promotion of integral human development;
  4. promotion of safe, secure, healthy and cordial atmosphere for teaching and learning;
  5. commitment to service for the common good of the society.

These principles shall undergird every engagement between the College and other persons and/or institutions, and they shall be the constant disposition to grooming generations of young persons, in a safe and secure environment, in the tedious task of cognitive valuation of truth, right regulation of affective powers, and application of wisdom in well-ordered psychomotor responses towards solving practical issues for both personal and societal good. Besides excellence in character and studies, the College is poised to carve a nitch and make a distinctive contribution in the area of ICT to the society.
