As a beacon of education, Loyola constantly strives to achieve its vision of ‘fostering excellence in thinking, commitment, and engagement for holistic transformation.’ The College follows the educational paradigm of Engaged Competence Enhancement (ECE) for grooming globally competent, socially sensitive, ecologically responsive, ethically rooted thought leaders and agents of change. Learning together, based on the principle of Magis, makes loyolites excel in life through service.
Jesuit education imbues in the learner elements that transcend the limitations of money, faith and success to create leaders devoted to the betterment of society and the world… Loyola has lived up to this vision, blending education and praxis, learning and intervention
I was the first Chairman of the Student Union of Loyola College…Today when I look back I can say that I learned discipline, rigour, thirst for knowledge and value-base for my political involvement here in Loyola.
Our institutions should promote depth of thought and imagination since imagination, creativity and critical thinking are essential to Jesuit education.
Pope Francis
Education is “an act of hope”… we have the dire need for passion and creativity as added weapons against the spirit of the “mundane” that’s seeking to numb, distract or discourage our youth.
Loyola has integrated people from underprivileged communities as students to benefit from the high quality of academic excellence imparted here,... (but) what is even more significant is that they have gone outside the portals of the college to provide services - counselling, education, charitable activities to the communities around them. This engagement with the community is what marks Loyola out as an institution truly anchored in excellence.
