PRINCIPLES AND VALUES

Every organization is known by the culture that its members live daily. That culture is a product of the models that that institution follows to achieve its goals. For their part, these models are the visible expression of the values ​​promoted by the organization. These values, in turn, are the reflection of the principles that govern the reason for being and acting of such an institution.

As an educational entity, Colegio Monterrey has principles and values ​​that mark the model and actions of its community, and determine its culture. Principles are those external laws that ultimately control the consequences of our actions. Values, on the other hand, are internal and subjective, and represent what we feel most strongly and that guides our behavior. For the Monterrey Educational Community, values ​​are determined by its principles, and both come, inevitably, from the Word of God.

This institution is based on the three principles established by Jesus in Matthew 22:37-39. The Master established the laws that should govern life: love God, love oneself and love one's neighbor. The order matters: you cannot do something out of love for your neighbor that involves failing to love God. No one can love his neighbor if he does not love himself.

Each of these three principles must be reflected in values. Love for God must be manifested in faith and obedience. Self-love involves integrity, excellence and discipline. Love for one's neighbor must be shown in mercy, respect and service.

The educational mission of Colegio Monterrey seeks, through discipleship, for each of the members of its family (students, parents and officials) to express these principles and values ​​in their daily lives. This discipleship seeks to make each one faithful and suitable (2 Timothy 2:2). Fidelity refers to the being, the mission, the expression of the fruit of the Spirit. Suitability, for its part, refers to the doing, the task, the correct practice of the gifts of the Spirit.

The values ​​of Colegio Monterrey are a summary of fidelity and suitability, reflected in the declaration “Por amor se es… y se muestra en…”. For love of God one is someone of faith, and it is shown in obedience to God. Out of love for oneself one is whole, and shows oneself in excellence and discipline. Out of love for one's neighbor one is merciful, and shows respect and service.
