All of us at BI want our students to develop to their fullest potential.

- Giving witness to Christ the Unique Teacher, in both their lives and teaching. As Fr. Brisson, founders of the Oblates of St. Francis de Sales writes: “What greater thing in all the world…than to fashion souls. What is greater than to mold the morals of the young? More than any painter, more in genius than the greatest sculptor, is he whose art is to shape consciousness for good and form character who he can recreate in a student the image and likeness of God.”
- Providing an environment which enables students to grow in their faith
- Encouraging each student to attain true self-knowledge and a valid sense of self-worth as one created by God in his image
