The School Coat of Arms

The School Coat of Arms is an important emblem that reflects many things about St. Anthony Claret. This is a symbol, which every Claretian should know, understand, and cherish with pride and affection.

The school emblem is distinctly divided into two portions: the deep blue at the right and the radiant red at the left.

Within the deep blue sphere, St. Anthony Mary Claret describes his origin and relationship. The sun represents his father Juan who hails from the eastern part of Sallent, Barcelona, Spain. Amazingly the family name Claret can be associated with the reddish light of dawn that the rising sun symbolically represents. The moon represents his mother Josefa who comes from the western part of the town of Sallent. Surprisingly, the family name of his mother Clara indicates the presence of light that the new rising moon appropriately symbolizes. The bridge in Sallent indicates the sacramental union between Juan and Josefa that makes possible his corporal birth.

Spiritually, the sun symbolizes the Son of God made Man, Jesus Christ, resplendent in his might and love; while the moon stands for Mary who like the moon receives and reflects the radiant light of the sun, the sunlight of God’s love. These symbolisms express St. Anthony’s utmost love to Jesus Christ and his filial love to the Blessed Mother, thus establishing his spiritual birth.

The inner life of St. Anthony Mary Claret is revealed within the radiant red sphere. The prominent heart is the symbol of the Immaculate Heart of Mary, Patroness of the Congregation of the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary that St. Anthony Mary Claret founded on July 16, 1849. The fire bursting forth symbolizes Mary’s limitless love for her Son Jesus; the roses stand for her tenderness; and the sword represents her suffering. The three white lilies represent her purity. The lilies refer also to his favorite saints: St. Anthony de Padua, St. Louis Gonzaga, and St. Dominic de Guzman who are known for their practice of purity and exemplary devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary. It was on St. Anthony de Padua’s Feast, June 13, 1835 that Anthony Mary Claret was ordained as priest. It was at the Church of St. Anthony de Padua where he celebrated his First Mass on the Feast of St. Louis Gonzaga, the patron of an organization that St. Anthony Mary Claret belonged as a seminarian.

At the bottom part of the emblem are the words: SCIENTIA MAXIME CUM VIRTUTE. Translated, it means “Knowledge is best with virtue.” This statement has been embodied by the school as its motto for the institution’s search for knowledge and the promotion of the intellectual growth, which is made more sublime with the practice of virtue. The school coat of arms has a history of its own. Every single detail brings with it deep meaning. The motto SCIENTIA MAXIME CUM VIRTUTE leads us to the ultimate ideal, which every Claretian should live.

Claret School of Quezon City is a Catholic school named after its patron, Saint Anthony Mary Claret who founded the Congregation of the Missionary Sons of the Immaculate Heart of the Blessed Virgin Mary in 1849 in the city of Vic, Spain.

The Claret Child Study Center is the youngest component of Claret School of Quezon City, Grade School Unit. It caters to both boys and girls with ages three to five years old. The Child Study Center is composed of the Junior Nursery, Senior Nursery and Kindergarten levels.

These three (3) levels are recognized as the first three (3) years of a child’s life away from home, Therefore, the curriculum provides experiences that are enjoyable as the home environment. Most of the activities are experiential and with maximum provisions for the development of creative and critical thinking, as well as self expression. The beginning skills for reading and writing, and numbers concepts are best taught using the combined traditional and thematic approaches wherein the different areas of learning are integrated.

THE ABC OF CLARET CSC

Academic excellence is the foremost objective of Claret CSC. Opened in June 2001 as the youngest addition to Claret School of Quezon City, the center started with a simple dream: to create a fun-filled learning environment favorable to the formative years of our children. Using the integrated approach in teaching, each subject area interrelates with one another using thematic units. We take pride in our slogan, “Learning is fun at CSC!” Guided free plays during Circle Time and Fun Fridays are essential components that provide a forum for the development of social and life skills, good habits and passion for learning.

Building God’s Kingdom is the ultimate vision of Claret CSC. As the children learn the alphabet, venture into science and numbers, dance their first steps, sing nursery rhymes, listen to storytelling, and do a lot more, they also learn family and community values. They develop psychomotor skills, social skills, and cognitive abilities that shape them into well-rounded young Claretians.

Christ's charity is the heart of CSC. Following the ideals of St. Anthony Mary Claret, the children imbibe the spirit of love, joy, peace, justice and compassion in the expression of our Claretian virtues: Compassion, Humility, Empowerment, Excellence, Respect for life and Service (C.H.E.E.R.S.)
