Carpe

Seize the day The classical curriculum was based on the intellectual demands, moral system and knowledge of the church. It was a unique and individual education, highly structured, with every course designed to be character-forming. At the end of their six years of study, followed by two more years of philosophy, graduates were meant to have acquired personal discipline and developed their intellects according to rationalist teaching methods. The classical curriculum changed as scientific discoveries progressed, as society developed, and most of all under the influence of visionary and avant-garde priests. It formed the basis of today's education system. In 1765, after the British conquest, the Petit Séminaire took over the teaching function of the Jesuit College, which had been shut down. The school no longer only accepted students with a religious vocation, but all young men who wanted and had the ability to pursue higher education.
