The core values of Colégio Júlio Dinis, together with the promotion of interpersonal and emotional competences, create an integrated educational approach that prepares students for the future, both academically and socially.
1. Academic Excellence and Critical Thinking
Colégio Júlio Dinis does not just strive for academic excellence in the traditional sense, but also values the development of soft skills such as critical thinking and problem-solving. Through active methodologies, students are challenged to question, analyse and synthesise information, fostering an analytical and creative mindset. These skills are essential for facing the globalised and technologically advanced world in which students will be working.
2. Responsibility and Citizenship with Leadership and Empathy
Social responsibility and active citizenship are closely linked to the development of leadership and empathy skills. By participating in community projects and voluntary activities, students learn to act responsibly and to understand the needs of others. These activities help them develop emotional intelligence, a crucial skill that includes the ability to recognize and manage emotions, both our own and those of others.
3. Respect and Ethics with Effective Communication
Respect for others and the practice of ethics at school promote an environment conducive to the development of effective communication. Students learn to communicate clearly and respectfully, in both formal and informal contexts enabling them to express ideas and feelings constructively. Collaboration and the ability to work as a team are also fostered in an environment where mutual respect is valued.
4. Inclusion and Diversity with Adaptation and Resilience
At a school that values inclusion and diversity, students are exposed to different cultures and ways of thinking, which develops their capacity for adaptation and resilience. By learning to work with colleagues from different backgrounds, students become more flexible and are able to face challenges with an open mind. Acceptance of diversity also promotes tolerance and respect for differences, indispensable qualities in the increasingly multicultural world in which we live.
5. Autonomy and Initiative through Time Management and Creativity
Encouraging autonomy and initiative prepares students to develop skills such as time management and self-motivation. The school strives to be a space for students to take responsibility for their own academic path, which contributes to their self-management and personal discipline. In addition, by being challenged to take initiatives, they cultivate creativity and innovation, key skills for a rapidly changing professional world.
6.Promoting Sustainability and the Protecting The Environment through Global Awareness and Teamwork
Education to promote sustainability and environmental preservation not only develops global awareness, but also strengthens teamwork skills. By participating in ecological projects, students learn to work together to achieve common goals that benefit society and the planet. Environmental responsibility also develops the ability to think long-term and make responsible and ethical decisions.
