PROSPECTUS 2021 - 2022

Education is the manifestation of the perfection already in man.
We want that education, by which character is formed, strength of mind is increased, the intellect is
expanded, and by which one can stand on one's own feet.
The end of all education, all training, should be man-making. The end and aim of all training is to make the
man grow. The training by which the current and expression of will are brought under control and become
fruitful, is called education.
