聖安琪與文藻 St. Angela and Wenzao

文藻的教育理念淵源於天主教聖吳甦樂修會的教育傳統；它創始於公元1535年，至今已有四百餘年的歷史。在歐美及其他天主教國家，Ursuline （吳甦樂會）與「教育」二字幾可劃上等號。

聖吳甦樂會的創始人聖安琪（St. Angela Merici）是文藝復興時代人文思想萌芽時期一位先進的教育工作者。曾以其超人的智慧將信仰與教育做了完美的結合。她的理念植基於基督信仰，她深信每個人都是天主的肖像，有其獨特的價值與尊嚴。她的理念也深受當代人文思想的影響，她相信每個生命都有無窮的潛力，不可替代的使命。教育的功能是去誘導受教者逐漸發揮、展現天主賦予他/她的潛能，終能逐一成為天主更圓滿的肖像，造福整個人群。

The Educational Philosophy of Wenzao is inherited from the educational tradition of the Roman Union of the Order of St. Ursula. Founded in 1535, the order enjoys a long history of over 400 years. In Europe, America, and in many Catholic countries, “Ursuline” has almost become synonymous with “education.”

St. Angela, the foundress of the Ursulines, was a visionary in the field of education. she lived in the Renaissance period when humanistic ideas were just beginning to take shape. With her remarkable wisdom, St. Angela successfully integrated faith into human formation. She believed that each individual was an image of God, with unique value and dignity. Under the influences of contemporary humanistic views, St. Angela also believed everyone has infinite potential and an indispensable mission. The purpose of education is to guide those being educated to gradually develop and extend their God-given potential. Eventually, they will all become true image of God and contribute meaningfully to society.
