M issio n S tatement

Founded as a C atholic S ch o o l in 1950, Gonzaga continues a tradition of
education in accordance with the Characteristics o f Jesuit Education under the
trusteeship of the Society of Jesus.

In Jesuit education the criterion of excellence is applied to all areas of school life
and therefore our mission is the fullest possible development of every dimension of
the person.

In particular we seek to foster a sense of values and a commitment to the service of
others. Thus we pledge ourselves to an ever renewed faith which actively promotes
the struggle for greater justice in the world.

This leads to the following objectives:

1. Gonzaga will aim to develop a school community which is based on respect,
love and service.

2. In the pursuit of excellence the educational process will be collaborative and
reflective with an openness to growth.

3. An understanding of the Gospel and its implications for action will be an inte­
gral part of the education offered to students at Gonzaga.
