Brief Overview:
On 20th
October 1901 the first five missionaries of the Montfort Brothers of
Saint Gabriel arrived in Thailand (Siam in those days.) Their mission
was to suceed a group of French priests who had already established
Assumption College, Bangkok, as a school for boys. Little did the founding
brothers think in those early days, that such small beginnings would
eventually grow into sinteen institutes of education throughout Thailand.
The St. Gabriel's
Foundation is a valued and respected part of the Thai educational establishment.
But this must not be seen just in terms of high-profile academic successes.
The Foundation also has as a central focus; the contribution it seeks
to make to the poor and the marginalised through such projects as the
Technical School recently opened as a charitable foundation. Its motivating
factor is service. It seeks to be ever faithful to its founding principle
- "education for all and all for education."
Philosophy:
1. The purpose of man's
existence is know the truth and to love and search for it as the source
of life and all
knowledge.
2. The belief that a man justifies himself and his
existence by noble works; hence it is expressed by the motto:
LABOR OMNIA VINCIT (Labor Conquers
All Things)
Vision:

to the young people and the wider community of Thailand an education
of
excellent quality. It believes in uniting students, families, staff,

and into the development of a high quality of life in all its dimensions.
The Foundation seeks to do this in accordance
with Gospel values under the guidance of St. Louis Marie de Montfort's
charism.
