About Sheng-te
FOREWORD
Christian education was the origin and mainstream of Western education. It also influenced the beginning of Chinese modern education. The purpose of Christian higher education is to cultivate spiritual life, character and academic growth, as well as shape a person's temperament - a "whole-person education." The purpose of life is to serve, and the foundations of service are character, knowledge, and skill. Without these foundations it would be hard to get an ideal job and carry out one's dream. Thus, Sheng-te Christian College places special emphasis on whole-person education. By stressing character development, virtue and intelligence, we cultivate students with the ability and desire to serve society and glorify God.
