• Accept and respect each child in all their diversity

• Accept and respect themselves in all their potential and to be the best he/she can be

• Be responsible, flexible, and independent problem-solvers

• Develop into caring, thinking, lifelong learners

• Assume the responsibility for his/her decisions and actions

• Use their God-given talents to make honest and creative decisions

• Be people of service with a concern and compassion for others

Queen of Martyrs School implements its philosophy through various educational modes and techniques, such as self-contained classes, departmental classes, small group programs, individualized programs, physical education classes, the family life program and support groups for individual concerns.  Our commitment is to academic excellence in conjunction with the parents, who we see as the primary educators.
