Philosophy

“Education is growth” is the equivalent of Balinese “Sikkha Wirun Sum Patta”. (สิกขา วิรุฬ หิ สม ปต ตา)

The five growth respects are:

1. Growth of faith: trust in life, roles and one’s own duty.
2. Growth of sacred precepts: ethics and goodness.
3. Growth of attentiveness: thoughtfulness and continuous learning.
4. Growth of abandonment: generosity and kindness to others
5. Growth of wisdom: living, thinking, and doing with intellect.
