Holistic Education Center

The purpose of holistic education is to provide students with a free learning environment which could help them explore the meaning and values of life, inspire their learning and creative potential, and to attain a balanced personal development while becoming people with integrity. The goal of holistic education is to cultivate students to become good citizens with humanistic understanding/sentiment, technological aptness, interpersonal communication skills, critical thinking, and social awareness.

Holistic education emphasizes human's inner qualities and outer characteristics, wholeness of the body and interpersonal relationships. In view of this, when devising the development plan for holistic education, we aim to cultivate the 'wholeness of body, mind, and spirit' in students. In our preparation plans, we seek to formulate school education policy, establish core values, define vision, recreate holistic curriculum, foster healthy campus culture, improve campus environment, revitalize organizations, build a sustainable campus, and nurture high quality talents.
