Personal & Social Education

PSE in SJI has been designed to enable the student to learn more about himself - his strengths and weaknesses, his gifts and talents - so as to have greater self-awareness. 

This self-awareness contributes to a boy’s development in becoming a reflective and self-directed learner – one of the attributes of the Profile of the SJI Boy.
