Efficiency and Effectiveness

At the heart of COLM’s educational philosophy is the firm belief that all students can become successful learners and that there are no predetermined limits to what students can accomplish at any age.
COLM teaching methods are informed by the “theory of multiple intelligences” developed by Howard Gardner. Students come to COLM with varying intelligences, abilities, passions and skills. Curricular units are carefully designed to engage students with a variety of learning styles. A broad range of materials, activities, approaches, and interconnected learning opportunities encourages each student to discover and develop his or her own strengths.
Students are also taught to recognize those areas where they may need to review in order to master required skills and content. COLM constantly monitors, analyzes, and refines all aspects of teaching and learning. The result is a
“living” curriculum that evolves to accommodate teaching methods and topics for all grades.
Our Core Values

M – Maturity
Maturity is the foundation that protects our other core values. All are expected to behave in a respectable manner towards others both within and outside the campus, i.e. being polite, speaking with tact, respecting those around you, etc.
Committed to provide quality education for the youth. With scholarships, programs, payment schemes designed to make education available for everyone.
Our School Emblem
The central symbol of seal is the shield which means to protect. The shield is divided vertically. To the left is a book with tussles to symbolize wisdom and nobility. To the right are the cross and a silhouette of Mary whose protection we implore. On the bottom left of the shield isa tower which symbolizes the foundation and strength of the Institution. Top most are the three stars – “Ad Astra Per Aspera” – Reach for the stars through hardships. In plain English, stars and number three is a common meaning for excellence.
The school adopted green and white. Green is the color of hope which in Old English was growan or to grow – this means to build a new foundation in education, a new society that will build the skill of every student, therefore, signs of a Promise of a New Life. White is the color
that symbolizes purity.
