Ecumenical School:


Many teachers, parents and adults in general look the other way where upbinging and education are concerned. That begins with the dropping of simplest forms of courtesy and ends in vandalism, drug addiction and serious criminality.

We don't want our school to breed indifference or encourage young people to look the other way.

Sow for yourselves righteousness, reap the fruit of steadfast loveWe know that everyone has within them the germ of goodness. But this seed must be nurtured carefully, if it is to cast roots, flourish and bear fruit.

Our educational work is firmly rooted in Protestant Christian faith; yet, whilst it grows out of a particular belief, it is not restricted to a single religion or denomination.

It is perfectly natural that Protestant and Catholic young people are educated together with young Muslims at the EGG. It is equally natural that a chapel is located at the heart of the school building. Here, we learn to pray, both together and individually - whether Protestant, Catholic or Muslim.

Every child receives religious education in the denomination desired by themselves or their parents. Instruction is provided by a teacher who is not merely well informed about a particular religion, but who actively lives by it.

For multicultural and multi-denominational education to be truly effective, it must first provide each student with a thorough grounding in the convictions and tradiitons of their own faith and culture.

... In the end, every young person has to find their own way.
