Don Bosco the Founder<\/strong><\/span><\/h4>\n

To ensure that his total dedication to their cause shone through his actions, he based his education on the three great principles of Reason,\u00a0 Faith and Loving-kindness, loving those to whom he dedicated his life as a caring father, and doing everything possible for their welfare. The system of education that emerged from these principles of Don Bosco is popularly known as the Preventive System and is the system that is\u00a0 followed in all the Don Bosco Schools, all over the world. Joseph Zoppi, the Swiss educationist said, \u201cIf there ever existed a method of education adapted to inspire confidence and love, it is the method of Don Bosco.\u201d The system aims to create a generation of young men and women steeped not only in sound knowledge-based education but also in a strong value-based education for life.<\/span><\/p>\n
