When we founded CIPEC
we were as ambitious as pioneers,
although our experience enabled us
to be aware of realities. The years have rushed by,
not without their fair share of difficulties,
leaving us with those troubled sentiments
of apprehension and delight that anyone
who has fathered something feels. They love their school because
it is not a cold, spiritless, impersonal place
but a learning environment where growing up
is a pleasurable experience
under the watchful eye of devoted adults. In a time of great political, technological,
scientific, economic, ethical and cultural
upheaval,
even educational programmes aiming at a
qualification of a high level is insufficient. Learning how to live
a free and happy life
conscious of the rights and happiness of others
in permanent mutation. With this objective in mind, progress
in an international environment
shows us the way to a new humanism
stamped with hope, while safe guarding
our own identity. The private status of our undertaking,
underlines our desire for total ideological,
religious, pedagogical
and financial independence. Our methods and our structures are original. However, we don’t accept the “fringe”
etiquette. In the steps of,
and hand in hand with others,
we are contributing
to the grand project of building :
THE BEST SCHOOL POSSIBLE.
