Guiding Philosophy - Core Values

The Philosophy of BAC is based in the reality that every human person is a unique individual and that she/he has a right to an environment in which she/he can live with dignity. It is founded on the gospel of Jesus Christ and the desire to bring this "good news" in a practical way to all people, especially the poor. Based on the social teaching of the Catholic Church the College endeavours to serve all people irrespective of their religion or ethnicity. All College programmes focus on recognizing human potential, natural resources and the environment as the foundation of economic and social activity.

From the above guiding philosophy the core values of BAC are:

  • Equality of all: BAC believes that God made all people equal and is committed to a development that promotes that equality
  • Rights and dignity of all: BAC believes in and strives to uphold the rights and dignity of all people
  • Stewardship: BAC believes that all human beings are co-responsible with God to protect the dignity of everybody and everything
  • Respect for the physical earth: BAC believes that the physical earth has rights and needs to be respected in and of itself and not just as a stage for human activity.
