Ignatian Family Education

Toward a Common Family-School Educational Project

Abstract

The centers aim to support and guide families in adopting educational styles that promote healthy family relationships, fostering growth in values rooted in the Gospel. One way to achieve this is by conveying an "Ignatian" approach to education. Several elements of the Ignatian tradition, when applied to different contexts, help to instill this "Ignatian spirit." The five key dimensions of Ignatian pedagogy—context, experience, reflection, action, and evaluation—can serve as the foundation for shaping this family-oriented educational style.
