The ethos of the school is adapted from the philosophy of Antonio Rosmini, the Italian Philosopher and founder of the order. He believed that real education must develop the whole person and so he focused on the following five areas of personality which he believed must be at the heart of the school's ethos:-
- Intellectual Development: to encourage enquiring minds and academic excellence.
- Physical Development: to promote a healthy lifestyle.
- Moral Development: to ensure that students mature into responsible, caring adults.
- Spiritual Development: to assist the formation of personal beliefs.
- Aesthetic Development: to promote an appreciation of the arts.
