Philosopy and Objectives

Pilar College adheres to the RVM Philosophy of Education aimed at leading all to fullness of life in Jesus Christ.  We believe that …              God is Father who, in abundant love and total graciousness created humanity and all creation to share His love.              When humanity chose to live apart from God, in his tender mercy the Father sent His Son Jesus to show humanity the way back to Him to pursue the path of justice, truth and love.              God chose Mary to be the Mother of Jesus, the Son of God and the Mother of the Church. Mary, being the first disciple, journey with us to fullness of life in Jesus Christ. We believe that …              By example set by Mother Ignacia del Espiritu Santo, the RVM             Education proclaims that is the heart that knows God, who is the             source of all wisdom             (cf. Prov. 2:6; 9:10; Job 28:20.23; Eccl 2:26; Ps 51:6; James 3: 17-18)              Education is a life-long process whereby human persons grow and             develop their potentials in the pursuit of their God-given mission of             transforming all things in Jesus Christ.  Learning is growth for every person to become a witness to faith, excellence and service in varied socio-cultural setting; thus, participate in the transforming experience of life in Jesus Christ. The School Administrators are servant leaders committed to witness to the Good News and to journey with the academic community in their search for truth, beauty and goodness.  As a Catholic School, Pilar College works for the development of the whole person who recognizes one’s Christian role of exemplifying ethical and corporate responsibility in a humane society through constant encounter with Jesus Christ and others.  As a Filipino School, Pilar College is dedicated to the task of producing well rounded citizens who can preserve and witness to relevant and wholesome Filipino culture, value and attitudes.  As a RVM School, Pilar College is committed to the Christian formation of Ignacian Marian leaders who are imbued with Ignacian Spirituality and live simply to serve God and creation.

Pilar College's Logo

   "AM" stands for Ave Maria, in praise of our Blessed Mother, the Patroness of the RVM Congregation. The rays signify the light and wisdom, which emanate from the virgin, the Mother of the Light of the world. The sampaguita beneath the book being the national flower is symbolic of the RVM being a Filipino Congregation. The stars represent our Lady's many virtues.
           At the center of the seal is an open book bearing the Latin inscription "Initium Sapientiate Timor Domini" which in English means "The Fear of the Lord is the Beginning of
           Wisdom". It signifies filial fear, love, awe and profound revenue for the Divine Source of wisdom, grace and life.
