To enter the campus is to step into a living conversation. It is not merely a place of transit between classes, but a geography where the map of your character is drawn. Here, the pursuit of wisdom is a shared labor; you are invited to shed the skin of a spectator and become a wanderer among friends.
Life within these gates is defined by the rhythm of the restless heart, offering a vast horizon of paths to follow. Through a rich tapestry of academic endeavors, you are challenged to sharpen your intellect and master your craft, while a vibrant array of non-academic pursuits—from the stage and the athletic court to the quiet service of the community—calls you to discover the hidden talents of your spirit. This is a sanctuary designed for becoming. It is a space where the rigorous discipline of the mind meets the radical openness of the spirit, ensuring that while you study for a career, you are fundamentally prepared for the profound mystery of being human.
Join Colegio San Agustin–Bacolod in building a community of excellence, values, and global-ready graduates through quality education and holistic formation.
Among the many values lived and taught by St. Augustine, the following are the salient ones:
Unity is basic for the existence of things. It means “being” one. The power and strength of unity are connected with the becoming of being. Augustine’s thought on unity is not only of the self, but it progresses toward a more social direction which is partnership with other people.
Values related to UNITAS: Friendship and Christian Liberty
Charity embraces both love of God and love of neighbor. It is the greatest of all graces, and it measures the value of persons since we are worth as much as how we love. All our conduct as human beings and as Christians, like work, personal relation, entertainment, etc. must be motivated by love or charity, and must tend to form in us, with God’s grace, that very valuable virtue.
Values related to CARITAS – Humility and Care for Common Good
Truth is found when the mind reflects on the reality of anything. It is found when the person discovers the realities and values that orient, give sense, and may bring contents to human life. In truth there is community between what a person thinks and what he speaks.
Values related to VERITAS – Prayer, Devotion to Study, and Pursuit of Wisdom
The heartbeat of our culture is found in the cadence of Unitas, Caritas, and Veritas. We do not walk alone; we move as one heart and one mind, bound by a Unity that sees diversity as a tapestry rather than a division. Our culture is one of Charity, where the hand is always extended to lift a brother or sister, recognizing that knowledge without love is a hollow lamp. We are driven by a “holy restlessness”—a pursuit of Truth that refuses to settle for the easy answer, seeking instead the light that shines behind every fact and every face.
Guided by the Augustinian motto of “Virtus et Scientia,” the CSA-B community adheres to the core values of Caritas (love of God and neighbor), Unitas (oneness in mind and heart), and Veritas (pursuit of the truth).
