We are always asking ourselves the questions: How can we contribute to successful professional and personal development through training? What concepts support structures within organizations, which enable respectful and task-oriented cooperation? How can we bring practice, science, and value-orientation together in productive interplay, and in doing so, contribute to targeted development processes of the individuals and the organizations? The high demand and excellent overall evaluation of our training seminars motivate us to continue asking ourselves these and further questions and continue developing innovative concepts tailored to the demands of vocational practice and incorporate the latest scientific findings. We would be delighted if you were to keep in contact with us in the future, and we warmly invite you to peruse our program (in German only). We always welcome your feedback and suggestions.

The College of Catholic Church Music and Musical Education in Regensburg (HfKM) is an internationally leading educational institution for church music. Its 170 students currently come from 12 countries around the world. The College's focus has always been an artist as well as a pedagogical orientation towards education, in which church music students are also prepared for their liturgical and pastoral responsibilities in the changing structures of deaneries and parishes. Based on the great significance of the liturgy for the church's life, it is obvious how necessary it is to develop church musicians and music educators who are prepared for their occupations in the artistic and pedagogical sense and about their entire lives. The close connection between study and life at the College of Catholic Church Music and Musical Education in Regensburg (HfKM) offers the best conditions for such preparation, in addition to the educational opportunities at large state colleges and universities. When HfKM College was established, it adhered to the standards that also apply to other music colleges. About the College's competitiveness, we wanted to strive toward parity, not uniformity. Main criteria include the respective state regulations and the requirements cited in the regulatory statutes of the Apostolic Constitution Sapientia Christiana (Art. 45 ib Ord) and the applicable regulations of the Bavarian State Ministry for Sciences, Research, and Arts. The College's structure and its relation to its church trustees are established in its constitution and in the study and examination regulations, which also follow the Apostolic Constitution's requirements. A community of young people who strive toward the same career goal makes it much easier to grow into church music-based and educational service. Regular, joint church services hone a keen sense for liturgical work concerts where students from all major subjects participate uniquely promote artistic growth. St. Andreas's Parish Church has served as a college church since 1976, and our concert hall offers ideal conditions for both. In Regensburg's city and region, there is a wide variety of cultural offerings that are both utilized and enriched by the College. The Church Music School of Regensburg is established by Franz Xaver Haberl and becomes the first Catholic church music school in the world. It has enjoyed international prominence beyond the German-speaking world since its inception. Bishop Antonius von Henle takes over the school as a "church foundation." Prince Regent Luitpold grants the foundation—which today is known as the Church Music School Foundation of Regensburg (Stiftung Kirchenmusikschule Regensburg)—state accreditation. By decree of the academic congregation, following a temporary decree from 1959, the Church Music School of Regensburg becomes permanently affiliated with the "Pontificio Istituto di Musica Sacra" in Rome. After being accredited in 1967 by the Bavarian State Ministry for Education and Culture, it is retroactively transformed into the "Academy of Catholic Church Music and Musical Education" as of 1 January 1973. Cooperation agreements from the years 1989 and 1999 with the College for Music and Theatre in Munich enable the administration of degree examinations. The "Church Music School Foundation of Regensburg" ("Stiftung Kirchenmusikschule Regensburg") changes its statutes through a decision of its foundation board and upon permission of the Bishop of Regensburg in order to adapt them to the new purpose of the foundation and the institution's legal position as a church foundation under public law. Upon agreement with the Bavarian and German Bishops' Conference and with the Congregation for Catholic Education in Rome, the Most Reverend Bishop of Regensburg, Manfred Müller, on his 75th birthday, the Festival of St. Albertus Magnus, Bishop of Regensburg, signs the decree for the establishment of the "College for Catholic Church Music and Musical Education of Regensburg" with sponsorship from the "Church Music School Foundation of Regensburg" ("Stiftung Kirchenmusikschule Regensburg"). On the festival of the patron saint of church music, St. Cecilia, a Pontifical Mass and ceremonial act take place on the occasion of the College of Catholic Church Music and Musical Education of Regensburg. Completion of the total refurbishment of the College and, at the same time, enhancement of its church-music and music-education related profile through the implementation of the European Academic Reform (Bachelor's/Master's Degrees). Church Music (with a concentration in an artistic core subject starting in the 5th semester), Conducting/Choir Direction, Instrumental Pedagogy (Organ, Harpsichord, Piano, Violin, Viola, Violoncello, Flute, and Recorder), a concert subject (Organ, Harpsichord), Vocal Pedagogy.

This study is based on instructional collaboration in artistic, scientific, and practical mediation fields between the University and the College of Music. It can be pursued in a music/non-music subject combination (Gyv) or intensively in two music subjects (God). After completing an aptitude test, young talents can be accepted permanently until they have received their school-leaving certificate. We allow guest auditors to take two semesters of private lessons in one subject and participate in theoretical subjects upon completing an assessment test.

The various study programs at the KHSB are designed to qualify students for their future careers in Human Services. This entails a combination of teaching, applied research methods, and reflected practice. This balanced combination of theoretical, methodical, and practical content aims to bring together academic knowledge and practical skills while strengthening students' abilities. The programs produce highly qualified specialists motivated to work in social professions with a sense of individual responsibility. The primary goal of education at the KHSB is to train students to become professionals in the Human Services who are capable of both analyzing their practical work according to scientific and professional standards and reflecting upon their actions, thus enabling them to meet best the needs of the people they will serve in professional contexts. The modular structure of the programs offered at the KHSB considers the future needs of professional practice by creating detailed profiles in the different fields of practice and integrating all programs. The self-contained modules enable the students to gain focused qualifications in their respective career fields. Social work can be regarded as a critical player within civil society, ensuring that political decisions are made to benefit the lives of those most in need. Students' reflection skills within the programs of study motivate them to engage personally in society and take part in debates on questions of morals and ethics. Ethical reflection skills include, for example, the ability to recognize and implement ethical principles within professional contexts, such as solidarity or advocacy for those members of society who are marginalized. Students learn how to develop sound and just. . The courses and seminars on anthropology and the ethics of social work and inclusive education form a fixed part of the curriculum. Ethics is seen as a significant discipline relevant to all the different study programs, considering the respective contexts. The ethics courses promote professional action based on principles of human dignity and human rights and the ability to recognize and critique different types of ethics and philosophies. In keeping with its profile, one of the critical concerns of the KHSB is to initiate and encourage constructive dialogue between different world-views and make use of this dialogue in the day-to-day demands of social work. Therefore, the internationalization of the contents and structures of the different programs is not just crucial for the current Bologna process. A trans-national and open attitude to the world as a whole and openness towards cultural groups of different religions form a fixed part of the egalitarian tenet of Catholicism and thus also one of the aims of the KHSB, which also applies beyond European borders. At the KHSB, seminars and lectures about intercultural and international subjects form a fixed curriculum. This includes the opportunity to specialize in "Intercultural Social Work," different language modules aimed at specific professional disciplines, and many internships carried out abroad. In addition to internationality, both the curriculum and day-to-day life at the university are based on diversity in a constructively critical way: diversity of lifestyles, diversity of religious lifestyles and world views, diversity of different cultural standpoints within society. An awareness of the fact that different perceptions of heterogeneity and foreignness can be put down to historical and social developments and thus represent contingent constructions and social constructs form the center of this practical approach to diversity.

The Université Catholique de l’Ouest is 135 years old: initially, a medieval university founded in 1373 was later reopened in 1875 and had a current student population of 12,000. The campus is situated in downtown Anger, a mere five-minute walk from the station. The nearest bus stops. It lies just minutes away from the main shopping area, restaurants, gardens, banks, and administrative offices. The university campus boasts an unusual architectural blend of old and contemporary buildings, standing in a 5-hectare park. Studying in France allows you to explore a unique cultural and historical heritage. Over the years, France has acquired a reputation for its art of living, traditionally consisting of rich and sophisticated food, fashion and perfumes. France is proud of its state-of-the-art science and management techniques. We are currently the fifth economic power in the world and the second exporter of services worldwide. France is a safe, reassuring country that welcomes visitors warmly and offers an exceptionally high level of welfare and protection. Angers is one of the most delightful cities in France. It lies in the Loire Valley heart, a mere hour and a half from Paris with 15 high-speed rail connections daily (TGV). With the sixteenth largest population in France, Angers is the capital of Anjou, a famous wine-producing region. This university town offers a great diversity of cultural activities: a 13th-century castle, numerous museums, film festivals, theatres, music. Its inhabitants enjoy a pleasant environment with 360 hectares of parks and gardens and 67 kilometers of cycle paths. Waves of anger offer visitors an efficient network of bus routes; a tramway was built in 2011. The International Office (Pôle International) is a service that supports the implementation, evaluation, and optimization of all international projects within UCO. It is composed of the CIDEF, Exchange Programs, the BEC (Bureau d’échange culturel), and a language resources group. Its mission is to define and develop international strategies at UCO and motivate the internationalization of the university community (students, faculty, and staff mobility).

Founded in 1875, the Catholic University of Paris (Institut Catholique de Paris - ICP) is the inheritor of the Medieval Liberal Arts Colleges and lies in the tradition of the Sorbonne, the oldest academic institution in France. ICP is renowned for its excellence in core academic fields such as Theology, Philosophy, and Canon Law. These serve as a basis for the development of Humanities and Social sciences, where Education, Ethics, and Anthropology are well represented. As a non-for-profit Association under French Law of 1901, recognized as Promoting the Public interest, its unique Research Unit “Religion, Culture, and Society” is fully recognized by the French Ministry of Higher Education and Research. Inspired by a long Christian and Humanistic tradition, ICP values open-mindedness and dialogue across borders, as suggested by the University Motto: “An Open Mind to the World.” ICP welcomes all students and academics, whatever their nationality, culture, language, and religion, and emphasizes individual pedagogical guidance. Centrally located in the 6th district of Paris, between the Latin Quarter and Saint-Germain-des-Prés, ICP is built on the site of an old Carmelite convent from the 17th century. ICP is a place of serenity and history, a unique and positive environment conducive to study, research, and campus life. ICP belongs to the European Higher Education Area and delivers ECTS (European Credits Transfer System). ICP is also a significant factor in the global Catholic network of higher education. ICP delivers State Degrees recognized at the National and European level (Bachelor, Master, and Doctorate Degrees), Canonical Diplomas, and its Diplomas. The Delegation for International Affairs (DIA) develops quality partnerships and orchestrates student exchanges the world over. Through its Tandem Programme, it acts as a connection point between French and International students. The university does not have an on-campus residence. However, the Accommodation Office provides a wide range of off-campus accommodation solutions in Paris, such as student residences, apartment rentals, rooms in family homes, etc. This Office helps students search for appropriate long-term accommodation and is happy to answer any queries that students may have before their arrival. All courses offered and corresponding ECTS credits are presented by degree: 1st, 2nd, 3rd year of Licence (Undergraduate), and 1st, 2nd year of Master (Postgraduate). Most of the courses are taught in French, but our Faculties also offer some English courses, opened to Exchange Students. A Welcome and Orientation Session is organized for international students by the IRO at the beginning of each semester. It generally takes place over three days and includes a presentation of the university and student services. It is a step-by-step explanation of the enrolment procedure practical information about life in Paris, a Seine river cruise close to the session. It is also, of course, the occasion to meet with many other international students. A Residence Permit Office in direct contact with the French administration offices helps non-EU students with their immigration documents and visa renewal. The Office receives students four days a week throughout the year.

University Católica Portuguesa (better known in Portugal as UCP or just "Católica") was established in 1967 by decree of the Holy See (Lusitanorum Nobilissima Gens), at the request of the Portuguese Bishops' conference and under Concordat Law. Universidade Católica Portuguesa is an academic community that helps defend and develop human beings and his/her cultural heritage through research, teaching, and services. A significant presence in the Portuguese university world, characterized by a Christian vision of humanity and making a specific contribution to all knowledge areas. It was the first modern Portuguese university not to be founded by the State but is instead the result of the Concordat between the Portuguese government and the Vatican, which established the university under the Catholic Church's tutelage. About its identity, the UCP falls within the scope of the Church's mission while specifically serving both the religious and lay communities the university aim to: advance culture, promote research and higher education educate ecclesiastical members in the humanities, philosophy, and theology prepare students to contribute to society create a genuine university community continue graduates training carry out extra-university activities contribute to Portuguese society through both the study of its problems and the promotion of its cultural values spread Christian thought, values, and ideals. UCP is an independent not-for-profit organization of a public utility, created by the Congregation for Catholic Education (Holy See) under an international treaty, the Concordat between Portugal and the Vatican, and recognized by the Portuguese State in 1971. The university's legal framework is established by Decree-Law 128/90 (17 April). The university's current statutes, issued in 1993, establish the following ruling bodies - High Chancellor, Rector, Board of Trustees, Rector's Council, Financial Management Board. The following are also aging bodies of the university: the Congregation for Catholic Education and the Portuguese Bishops' Conference. UCP degree programs and the resulting qualifications (bachelor's, master's, and doctorate) have the same value and effects like those from state universities (Decree-Law 128/90). Since it started operating in 2009, A3ES (the Portuguese Evaluation, Quality-assurance, and Accreditation Agency for Higher Education) has been accrediting and evaluating our degree programs. UCP publishes in a broad range of areas, including collections, academic journals, and newsletters from the faculties and study centers. In 1998, the university created its own publishing company - Universidade Católica Editora - which publishes in a wide range of academic areas, ranging from theology to biotechnology and the social sciences to engineering. Universidade Católica Editora aims to help promote the academic and research activities of UCP, acting as an excellent means of communication between its academic staff and society at large.

The Catholic University of Lublin was founded in 1918. It is the oldest university in Lublin and one of the oldest in Poland. It was founded by the Polish Episcopate on the initiative of Rev. Idzi Radziszewski, who was also the first rector of the University. KUL has been entrusted to the Sacred Heart of Jesus. Its maxim is " Deo et Patriae" - "For God and Fatherland". The first inauguration of the academic year took place on December 8, 1918, in the major seminary in Lublin - the provisional headquarters of the University. 399 young people began their studies in four faculties - Theology, Canon Law and Moral Sciences, Law and Socioeconomic Sciences, and the Humanities. In 1921 the University received its building, the so-called Swietokrzyskie Barracks, an edifice of the Dominican Fathers of the Monastic Observance. The administration of the University attempted to have State rights granted to the University. In 1928 Parliament bestowed civil legal status upon the University. Through the Parliamentary act of 1933, KUL became entitled to bestow the title of Master and five years later (April 9, 1938) it acquired the full rights of a state university, that is of conferring doctorates and professorships in all its faculties. Material means were ensured by donations and funds from dioceses, support from Friends of the University of Lublin Society established in 1922 (as of 1928 the Friends of KUL Society), from incomes from the Potulicka Foundation (estates near Bydgoszcz, a gift from the countess Aniela Potulicka) and collections carried out biannually (since 1930) in all Polish churches. The 1930s marked the systematic development of KUL. The University hired a great many scholars and cooperated with national and foreign research and academic institutions. Plans for the establishment of new departments, among them medicine, philosophy, mathematics, and natural sciences, a school for journalists, were stopped by the outbreak of World War II. During the German occupation, the University was shut down, and a military hospital was organized in KUL's buildings. The rector was imprisoned, many of the professors and students were executed, while others were forced to go work in Germany or sent to concentration camps. The University was involved in secret, underground education in Lublin, Warsaw, Kielce, Jędrzejów, and Nawarzyce. After the liberation of Lublin, KUL reopened its doors on August 21, 1944, as the first university in post-war Poland. Despite difficulties (finding academic staff, rebuilding its devastated buildings, finding resources to maintain the University), KUL started making advances: the Department of Christian Philosophy (1946) and the Institute of Higher Religious Culture (1946) was established. A flood of youth from all regions of Poland came to the city and their number systematically increased (1946 - over 1600 students 1947 - over 2000 1951 - over 3000). KUL soon became an unwanted university in communist Poland. There were attempts to stop the development of the University and to limit its influence on society. The 1950s and 1960s were especially hard. The Potulicka Foundation was taken over and made state property, student entries and enrolment were severely limited, aiming at closing the most popular faculties of KUL, that is the Faculties of Law and Socio-Economics. The philological sections were closed. The rector, Rev. Antoni Słomkowski, was then imprisoned. The right to grant doctorates and professorships was taken away from the Humanities Faculty, and academic exchange with foreign countries was blocked. KUL alumni were denied employment in state positions. Publications of academic research underwent severe censorship. The government's treating KUL as a profit-making institution obliged it to pay high taxes, and due to delayed payments buildings and university property were confiscated. The response of the University to the growing repression from the State was an expansion in the area of research and the foundation of new departments and specialized inter-department research units. It was a time when the university enjoyed its well-deserved scholarly reputation. During the period of communism in Poland, KUL was the most important center of Catholic thought in the country and the only independent university in the entire Soviet bloc. It was also a refuge for the young, not accepted into other universities or marginalized for political or social reasons. A change came in the 1970s when the University was allowed to make contacts with foreign research and academic institutions, yet the real turning point took place in the 1980s. After many petitions, some of the Institutes were gradually reopened. Moreover, permission was granted to expand university buildings, among other things the erection of the John Paul II Collegium was started. The Faculty of Social Sciences was re-established, and a new Section of Legal Sciences and Section of Slavonic philology was founded. Thanks to the foundation of the Pastoral Care and Polonia Migration Section (1972), the Summer School of Polish Language and Culture (1974), and a one-year Course in Polish Language and Culture for Foreign Students (1977), more intimate bonds were created between KUL and Polonia. At present KUL consists of ten faculties: Theology Law Canon Law and Administration Philosophy Humanities Social Sciences Biotechnology and Environment Sciences and Mathematics, IT and Landscape Architecture three off-campus faculties: Natural and Economic Sciences in Tomaszów Lubelski Social Sciences in Stalowa Wola as well as many inter-faculty units such as College for Inter-faculty Individual Studies in the Humanities or the School of the Polish Language and Culture. The University undertakes the civilization and scientific challenges of modern times performing extensive research, publishing numerous books, periodicals, and encyclopedias such as the Catholic Encyclopedia and the Universal Encyclopedia of Philosophy. Studies are conducted in the Polish and English languages. Numerous facilities and special methods are used to allow studying to persons with disabilities. Students of KUL have the opportunity to develop passions and interests in many student organizations such as choirs, theatres, or galleries. Thanks to their activity, KUL has a very rich cultural life. “KULturalia” - student’s largest cultural event is held annually. Many scientific circles found at each major of the University deal with students’ extracurricular scientific development. Moreover, students actively participate in the Academic Sports Association, in PTTK and in the Academic Legion of KUL, in which they may undergo defense training. The University Chaplaincy intensively works and its activities comprise a series of initiatives, movements, communities, and associations. KUL co-operates with 140 foreign universities and is a member of many international organizations and associations such as the European University Association (EUA), European Federation of Catholic Universities (EFCU), or International Federation of Catholic Universities (IFCU). It participates in exchange programs and scientific co-operation thanks to which many renowned scholars and people of the Church and culture from all over the world visit the University every year. The Catholic University in Lublin, at present named after John Paul II, is one of the fastest-growing universities in Poland. Each year the scope of scientific research and the educational offer is extended. Numerous investments demonstrate the development of the University they are designed to create optimal conditions for the development of academic staff and students.

As part of the Immaculate Conception Parish, PASIG CATHOLIC COLLEGE envisions itself as an evangelized and evangelizing community whose commitment to quality Catholic education promotes a culture of excellence and the task of social transformation. Early Childhood Education aims to develop the whole child-physically, socially, emotionally, and cognitively, morally, and spiritually. This makes him into a self-propelling, critical-thinking, and contributing individual able to cope with life's situations. In this endeavor, the home plays a vital role as a partner in the child's education. The need for a Solid Quality Education today needs no drum beating. Education these days is gaining interest in the preschool level, so as the parents. It is essential to choose wisely to the school where we entrust our children. There is no precise formula for the right preschool for our children. But there are essential tips to consider before sending your child off to school, for he or she is in his/her most critical years of learning. The new pressures and expectations that accompany your child's formal entrance into Scholl result in behavior patterns changes. Early childhood experiences will have a lasting impact on the child. Ages 0-5 is the best time to teach good habits and values and provide the child with better learning capabilities and experiences as a foundation for later development. Pasig Catholic College is guided by its mission of evangelization and is committed to achieving the highest quality of Catholic education, excellence, and the task of social transformation. Pupils are provided with developmentally appropriate activities and material that make learning experiences more interesting, fun, and challenging. Programs are heard to produce an ideal graduate who has the necessary academic competencies needed for high school life and can live a life of a dignified person in all aspects of one personhood. The Grade School Department supports and strengthens the school's vision-mission, thrusts, and objectives through its various programs and offerings. It generally aims to develop a holistic and integrated person, hence producing Christ-like graduates equipped with knowledge, skills, and values to meet the challenges and demands of the time. Pasig Catholic College journeys towards the 21st century, the JUNIOR HIGH SCHOOL (JHS) remains steadfast to its commitment to quality Catholic education, highlighting PCC's concentric circles of spirituality, excellence, and service. Through relevant classroom and school-based activities, JHS responds to the call for a new evangelization by integrating "Ways of Life" skills to the 21st-century skills framework that become a solid ground for the enriched faith life of students and faculty members, as well as exuding passion for spirituality. . The Immaculate Conception, the Beloved Mother, and Special Protector is PCC's patron saint. The Spanish Missionaries placed the whole country under her superior protection by making her the country's patron saint. During the 1760s, Pasig was one of the few immediate areas that saw the Spaniards' presence. Settlements were built around the Church, a familiar structure and one of the Hispanic era's living pillars. Soon, priests were seen outside of the pulpit, gathering people, children, and old folks alike, preaching and educating them on Christianity's values and virtues. For these reasons, Pasig Catholic College, presently a Diocesan College of Pasig, for long has adopted the Immaculate Conception as its patroness. Mary's secret life, an eloquent testimony of deep faith, purity, courage, wisdom, and obedience to the Father's Will, is what the College has always wished for her students and employees to emulate. Out of the Belgian CICM Missionaries' desire and determination to build a Catholic school for teaching children the love of God while passing on the cultural heritage and tradition of the people, Pasig Catholic College was founded by Rev. Pierre Cornelis de Brouwer, CICM in 1913. It was known as "Escuela Catolica" during the early 1900s.In 1916, during the time of Rev. Paul Hubaux, CICM, the American government recognized the primary school. In 1920, under Rev. Godfried Aldenhuijsen, CICM, intermediate levels got approval for operations. As the population grew in 1931, Rev. Victor De Klerck, CICM, saw the urgency of constructing the school's first building, composed of eight classrooms built in the Church patio. In 1939-41, the Urbano Building was constructed under Rev. Urbain (Urbano) Timmermans, CICM. Philippine Laws initially incorporated Pasig Catholic College on 24 August 1915. After World War II, the Articles of Incorporation were duly reconstituted on 12 August 1948 and filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC). The transcript of these Amended Articles of Incorporation was issued on 03 February 1949. With the installation of Bishop Mylo Hubert C. Vergara as the new Bishop of Pasig and Chairman of the PCC Board of Trustees, PCC once again rededicated its services to the Church to strengthen its formation learners and its personnel. These years saw the College's profound involvement in ecological issues and, with enthusiasm, got involved in preparing and celebrating its Centennial Year, "PCC @100: Ablaze in Mission".

Nagasaki Junshin Catholic University is run by the Congregation of the Sisters of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, a Catholic religious congregation founded in Nagasaki in 1934 to promote women's education. Located amid tranquil surroundings in Nagasaki's hills, it offers several taught degree courses from Bachelor to Doctoral level. Although its student base is predominantly female, it welcomes applications from both male and female international students interested in applying for one of the study programs listed below. The university sits on a spacious campus with a beautiful view looking out to sea. Campus facilities include a cafeteria, a convenience store, a coffee machine, tennis courts, a sports hall, a library, computer rooms, and a museum. Next door to the university, the Sisters run a nursing home for atomic bomb victims. In 1981, it received a visit from Pope John Paul II. Nagasaki is a unique place to learn about Japan. Located within a picturesque bay and surrounded by luscious green mountains, the city offers a stunning backdrop to study abroad. Historically Nagasaki is one of Japan's most important cities, owing mainly to its fascinating 450-year long history of cultural exchange. Several of Nagasaki's historical locations were set to be listed as UNESCO World Heritage sites in 2018. Students will be given a unique window into Japan through an engaging combination of daily Japanese lessons, special lectures (in English), and fieldwork trips. The sites they visit will include a remote area of mountainous countryside where Japan's Hidden Christians secretly kept their faith (set to be listed as a UNESCO World Heritage site in 2018) and a nursing home for atomic bomb survivors. Throughout the summer school, an emphasis will be placed on cross-cultural exchange, and it is hoped that by the end of their time with us, students will have made new friends from both Japan and across the world! Each participant will be offered the chance to stay with a Japanese host family during their Nagasaki stay. It is hoped that this experience will allow them to immerse themselves in Japanese culture during their stay. Two meals (breakfast and supper) will be provided each day. The summer school will be conducted in English. If English is not their first language, participants are expected to understand, read, and discuss a range of academic content in English. They should, therefore, possess an advanced level of English. The proposed cost of the homestay is 15,000 yen. The proposed cost of the one-week summer school is 20,000 yen. Participants are also advised to bring a small amount of money to cover daily expenses. The participant will meet the cost of traveling between Nagasaki and their home country. We envisage that successful completion of the summer school will result in each student gaining an appropriate number of academic credits at their home institution. In the Japanese system, successful completion of the summer school is worth two academic credits.

The school was established by monasticism founded by the Apostolic See (Vatican state) in 1847. Its objective is to preserve the Armani heritage, language, and culture to its children. The first festival was held for monasticism was held after the establishment of monasticism on 9 December 1847. Monasticism was named in the name of the Virgin Mary (Immaculate Conception). The establishment was in Turkey till it was transported to the main house of monasticism in Rome in 1922. After the establishment of monasticism, invocations started to increase and started to extend throughout the world. Establishment of ِArmenian Catholic sisters School in Cairo. Three nuns arrived in Cairo in 1937 according to the request of the Catholic Armani Patriarchy for opening schools for the Armani colony scattered from all sides of the world because of the Armani Butchery (1915) that led to the death of the Armani people by martyring. By invitation of the archbishop Excellence priest / Hakob Neiman, Catholic Armani Nuns School was established in September 1937. It taught Armani language and Christian religion in the church and El-Fagala schools till a wide piece of land was purchased in present Heliopolis, El-Merghany Street, Faten Hamama station upon which it was held modern building with two floors.

We are connected with religious ethics and fraternal love to exist with all pride and glory. Greeting to the school and greeting to Egypt.

As a Catholic school it is our hope that our students become involved in the life of the school with a view to growing academically, spiritually, athletically and socially. A school is more than the bricks and mortar that make up its structure. It is a dynamic hub of activity for our Catholic community designed to transform our students from young children in grade nine to contributing members of society when they graduate. To that end, our dedicated staff members along with community partners provide our students with a myriad of activities and events. We are fortunate to be part of the gift that is Catholic Education. With continued support from our staff and the Catholic community we serve, the gift will continue for generations to come. At BT we are in the unique position among schools, to have our namesake, His Excellency Bishop Anthony Tonnos, visit us on a regular basis. Current BT students will share in his knowledge and wisdom as we invite him to join us to celebrate the Eucharist and for other special events. In 2002, the Hamilton-Wentworth Catholic District School Board approved the construction of a new secondary school in Ancaster to alleviate overcrowding at St. Thomas More Catholic Secondary School on the West Mountain and St. Mary Catholic Secondary School in West Hamilton. The school – the first new Catholic secondary school to be opened in 25 years – was named in honour of The Most Reverend Anthony F. Tonnos, eighth Bishop of Hamilton. Bishop Tonnos served as the faithful shepherd of the Hamilton Diocese from 1984-2010, and was a steadfast supporter of Catholic Education. An official ground breaking ceremony was held on May 22, 2003 on the grounds of the former 17.5-acre Marshall Potato Farm on Highway 53 just west of Fiddler’s Green Road. In September 2004, the school’s inaugural Grade 9 & 10 students began their first semester of the 2004-2005 school year at the former Christ the King Catholic Elementary School. Bishop Tonnos Catholic Secondary School opened in February 2005 with an initial enrolment of 475 students. An official blessing and dedication ceremony, celebrated by Bishop Tonnos, was held on April 17, 2005. The 178,000 sq. ft. school was built at a cost of $24-million with a Ministry rated capacity of 1,250 students. On June 20, 2016, the Board of Trustees approved the installation of a 110,000 sq. ft. artificial turf sports field at the school. A field blessing and dedication, officiated by Bishop Tonnos, was held on October 6, 2017. We are blessed to have a modern facility where we can provide an excellent broad-based, balanced education to help young people grow to their fullest potential, where they can see and experience the richness of a Christ centred education, and achieve the academic requirements for the Ontario Graduation Diploma. With the guidance and help of an extremely dedicated staff our young people’s experience will be a journey of faith, academics, social teachings, athletics, relationships, and preparation for life experiences. The mission of Catholic Education in Hamilton-Wentworth, in union with our Bishop, is to enable all learners to realize the fullness of humanity of which our Lord Jesus Christ is the model. The Catholic Community of Hamilton-Wentworth believes the learner will realize this fullness of humanity. If the learning process begins at home and is part of family life is nurtured within the Parish, is anchored in the Catholic Faith, takes place within the context of worship, sacraments, and the life of the Church, is enhanced by the school community is embraced by the learner as a personal responsibility for life. if learning takes place in an appropriate and challenging environment in which members of the school community exemplify the teachings of Jesus Christ which reflects Gospel values and responsible use of human, financial and natural resources which promotes academic excellence and clear indicators of achievement.

The Brussels International Catholic School (BICS) is an independent co-educational day school with Pre- Primary, Primary and Secondary departments. We offer a bi-lingual curriculum (English/French) in the Pre- Primary and Primary departments, which follows the curriculum of the Cambridge Primary Programme (CPP) and the Belgian accredited program. The Secondary department retains a bi-lingual aspect but is more focused on English, as the curriculum followed leads to the Cambridge International exams. We can look after the needs of every individual child. The school stands for academic excellence, but the school's underlying ethos is that happy children achieve more. BICs offer a broad curriculum, and children are always encouraged to try their best and strive for excellence in everything they do. The school places the child at the center of all our efforts; the learning experience must be both sufficiently structured and enjoyable so that our pupils are motivated to achieve their best. We work with families to ensure that the boys and girls have high academic expectations, are successful in public examinations, and discover intellectual interests that will stay with them. The consistent examination success of our children bears witness to our educational methods. Our school numbers more than 600 children, and we are a truly international community counting over forty nationalities. As a Catholic school, we believe that our Christian faith adds an essential aspect to our educational vision, enabling us to respect every individual as created in God's image; nevertheless, we gladly accept many students of other cultures and traditions. We support them and their families as they make their journey of faith alongside us. BICS is a bi-lingual school. No one can doubt that the possession of several languages is a great advantage, giving a head start for the future. Based in the capital of Europe, our school has opted for English and French. All of our teachers are qualified native English and French speakers. In the Primary department, the approach is the following: firstly, a choice is made regarding the language in which a child will learn to read and write. Usually, this will be French, given that this language is phonetic, and its internal logic helps structure the child's mind. During the first year of Primary school, the child will continue to learn English orally. A child who has followed our Primary school curriculum will be fully fluent by the end of his sixth year and have working knowledge after only one year. Specialist teachers in English (EFL) and French (FLE) offer necessary support to those children arriving without French or English. In Secondary school, we have a slightly different approach. This department is more English based. The school is an accredited Cambridge University Examinations test center and, as such, offers the Cambridge International GCSE and A level curriculum. These qualifications are recognized internationally, offering access to Higher Education in Belgium and throughout the world. We are often asked how this works out in practice. In the Pre-primary department, the week is divided between two teachers, one English-speaking and the other French-speaking. Communication and learning are mainly oral, and the children naturally come to associate the teacher with the language spoken. The week is divided into English on Mondays and Tuesdays, French on Thursdays, and Fridays, with Wednesdays divided into both. In this way, the child benefits from full immersion into both languages. In the Primary department, students are taught in English and French on alternate days. This enables a 50-50% immersion in both languages. The curriculum followed in the Primary department is based upon a Belgian program for the French-speaking part and the Cambridge Primary Programme the English speaking part. At the end of their six years of Primary school, pupils can take the Belgian 'Examen Cantonal,' which is exterior to the school, and obtains a diploma giving access to all Belgian and European Secondary schools (CEB – Certificat d'Etude de Base). Children who follow our curriculum have no difficulty integrating into other English-speaking, French, and international schools. We understand the importance of this, as parents may need to move after three or four years for professional reasons.

Actively seeking and participating in professional development activities to further knowledge and current trends, especially in Information and Communication Technologies (ICT).

The College strives to provide students with a balanced and holistic education to equip them to live fulfilling and purposeful lives. At Nagle, the critical partnership is the one that exists between the student, family, and the school, with the fundamental goal being the success of the student. Great partnerships are built upon mutual respect, good communication, and an understanding of the importance of working together. The College motto, "For Others," encourages our students to explore the meaningful contribution their education will enable and empower them to make in their journey through life. The College has identified five values that draw inspiration from Venerable Nano Nagle and Blessed Edmund Rice. These values articulate the mission of Nagle Catholic College. The basis of the crest is the Celtic Cross. The cross is the most recognizable symbol of Christianity, and its basis is God's unconditional love for us. This Celtic form of the cross reminds us of the Irish origins of our founding Orders. The star represents Mary, Star of the Sea, patroness of Stella Maris College. The star was also the central device in the crest of St. Patrick's College. On 11 February 1994, Bishop Justin Bianchini commissioned Nagle Catholic College as a Catholic school within Geraldton's Diocese. While the life of the College formally commenced on that day, its story goes back a lot further – to 1891 when the Presentation Sisters opened Stella Maris College. Some thirty-five years later, in 1926, St. Patrick's College was opened by the Christian Brothers. For the ensuing sixty-eight years, these two boarding schools continued to cater to the educational needs of the young women and men of Geraldton and its surrounding areas. In the late 1980s, the two schools' authorities agreed that a combination of their efforts and resources would enable them to better cater to their students than would the maintenance of two separate schools. It was from that time that the planning of the new coeducational secondary boarding school began. This planning resulted in the opening of Nagle Catholic College, founded on the riches of the history and the traditions of the two good schools in which it has its foundations. From whom the College takes its name, Nano Nagle founded the Presentation Sisters in Ireland in 1775. Their work was to offer the girls education, formation, and care, which was available only to those of the higher reaches of society. Inspired by their work, Edmund Rice founded the Christian Brothers in 1808. From the start, the Presentation Sisters and the Christian Brothers worked closely together in the country of their foundation. Again, a century and a half later, the two Orders worked closely together worlds away from their foundations, to cater to the educational needs of the young people of Geraldton Diocese. So, in the name of Nagle Catholic College, the work of both founding Orders is remembered. The school's crest, too, provides an ongoing reminder of our ancestry and the continuing challenge that faces all connected with Nagle Catholic College. Our motto, 'For Others', reminds us that the challenge of all education is to educate young men and women whose mission in life is to develop their talents and abilities to be able to use them for the good of others. Our history, our crest, and our motto lay the foundation for the very challenging and exciting educational program for which Nagle Catholic College exists.

This document can be accessed on Catholic Education. As a member of the network of Catholic schools across Far North Queensland and supported by Cairns Catholic Education Services, MacKillop Catholic College will draw from and contribute to our shared educational resources. With the Diocesan Learning Framework as the foundation document, our College will continually refine our delivery of learning programs and continue to develop school-based curriculum plans designed to meet the needs of our student community while taking into account and being informed by the Australian Curriculum and the requirements of the Queensland Curriculum and Assessment Authority. In proposing minimum curriculum requirements for Learning Areas within Catholic schools, it is critical to note that every curriculum area has a religious and a social, emotional dimension a capacity to assist students in examining the world of human culture and the world of religion, providing knowledge and skills through an active process, and fostering attitudes and values that are life-giving and that assist young people in searching for meaning and truth. All Queensland children are eligible to attend full-time Prep from the beginning of the school year in which they will reach the age of 5 years by 30 June. Children whose birthday is in July through to December commence Prep at the beginning of the school year after their fifth birthday. Prep is the first year of school and provides the foundation for your child’s education. It is a full-time program held in primary schools. Children attend Monday-Friday for the full school day. Prep teachers use the Foundation Year of the Australian Curriculum—to guide children’s learning. The Foundation Year in the Australian Curriculum refers to the year before Year 1. In Queensland, this is called Prep.

For over 140 years, Columba Catholic College has offered an outstanding student experience, encouraging students to be the best they can be. Columba students more than attend. They form part of a community with a history that stretches back to the nineteenth century. With outstanding contemporary facilities across two campuses, extensive curriculum offerings focused on new connections, collaboration, entrepreneurial thinking, and a growth mindset. Students are well equipped to be the leaders and innovators of tomorrow. Columba is a vibrant, affordable P-12 Catholic College catering to the full needs of families and students. Being co-educational, students can find their unique niche for learning and personal growth. With a kindergarten on site, run by Catholic Kindles, our educational setting gives families a seamless educational and cultural experience spanning across the early, middle, and senior years phases of learning. This P-12 setting gives students access to a wide range of subjects and opportunities matched to current and emerging pathways and occupations. Columba Catholic College students have a sense of purpose. This purpose, of being the best they can be, drives them to grab the many opportunities available, to achieve a balance between their academic, social, spiritual, sports, and cultural pursuits. Our College camping facility at Marybank, a 30-hectare property, ensures that the balance between academic rigors and time away in the great western outdoors features prominently in our purposeful curriculum and pastoral offerings. Our twin boarding facilities on Mt Carmel Campus (for boys) and St Mary's Campus (for girls) ensure that both son's and daughters' residential needs are met with sensitivity to their particular circumstances. We are proud of our wrap-around program in boarding. Students enjoy structured weekend activities transport to sporting and work commitments and travel to and from Townsville by College bus for weekly boarders. This sense of family and service is a hallmark of the Columba border. The three Catholic traditions that formed the College – the Christian Brothers Good Samaritan and Mercy sisters provide a model of how the Columba student treats one another and how students work hard to use their God-given gifts to betterment society. Each student is recognized as an individual, and we strive to come to know the real person inside each child as they grow, mature and develop. There is no blueprint for the "Columba student" - each child is different. We see our role as helping all of our students become the best they can be without compromising their personality's true nature. Columba Catholic College is where children can confidently be themselves, growing in every way to become competent, confident, compassionate, and booming contributors to society. This is done in a safe, nurturing, and academically challenging environment with an extensive range of co-curricular opportunities. Columba Catholic College has an enrolment of approximately 600 students. The population of the College comprises students from a variety of socio-economic backgrounds. It includes students from rural Queensland, from regional centers of Queensland, interstate students of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander descent, and some in whose homes English is spoken only as a second language. One of the ongoing challenges which the College is always endeavoring to meet is to find effective ways of meeting the range of academic needs of its students - the exceptionally gifted, those for whom learning is difficult, and the students of average ability for whom a creative approach to curriculum is no less necessary. In keeping with the Mission Statement, teachers at Columba Catholic College are invited to see their vocation as a following of Christ, the ultimate teacher. In doing this, they will endeavor to provide a caring environment based on sincere relationships to help students internalize Christian values. In the same spirit, the College will endeavor to provide the students with a sound, up-to-date curriculum that aims to develop each individual's potential in a range of areas, including academic excellence. Believing that the ideal process of education is a shared one and that faith is assimilated through contact with people whose daily life bears witness to it, the College invites parents, students, and staff to share the same basic Christian approach to life. Charters Towers is a city of 10 000 people situated 135 km south-west of Townsville. The city has a long history of providing quality education to the Charters Towers community and families from across North Queensland. In recent years, that provision has been available to people from a more comprehensive background, including overseas students. The city has several day and boarding schools, Catholic, Anglican and non-denominational, and State Primary and Secondary schools. The town's economy is otherwise built on mining (gold, in particular) and the beef industry. In 1998, the three Catholic schools in Charters Towers amalgamated to form a single school, Columba Catholic College, operating from the three existing campuses. The new school comes under the authority of the Diocese of Townsville through the Catholic Education Office. Columba Catholic College shares in the mission of Christ's Church to further the coming of God's reign of Justice, Peace, Compassion, and Redemption. CCC shares the vision of an educational community, which: Is based on the teaching and example of Jesus Christ, as found in the Gospels and handed on in this community by the traditions of the Sisters of Mercy, the Sisters of the Good Samaritan, and the Christian Brothers Supports families and works in co-operation with parents in the total development of their children Exists primarily to provide for the needs of the students, recognizing the value and uniqueness of each person Offers quality education from Prep to Year 12, including Residential Care Fosters an atmosphere that is welcoming, safe, and supportive, with relationships at all levels based on self-respect and respect for others Nurtures the faith of all members through prayer, learning, and service to others.
