 📘 Reading Text (B2 Level): Living Lasallian Values at University La Salle Cancun

 

At University La Salle Cancun, education is not just about academic achievement. It also focuses on forming responsible, ethical, and compassionate individuals. This mission is inspired by the life and teachings of Saint John Baptist de La Salle, who founded the Lasallian educational movement over 300 years ago.

 

Lasallian values are more than words on paper — they guide student behavior and campus culture. The five core values are faith, service, fraternity, justice, and commitment.

 

Faith means trusting in oneself, others, and in the process of learning. It encourages students to stay positive, believe in their potential, and find meaning in what they do. It also invites students to develop a spiritual perspective, regardless of their religious beliefs.

 

Service is about using one’s talents to help others. Students participate in community outreach programs, environmental projects, and activities that promote social justice. Through service, students understand the importance of empathy and solidarity.

 

Fraternity encourages teamwork and the creation of strong bonds among classmates and teachers. A sense of belonging and cooperation helps students learn in a supportive and inclusive environment.

 

Justice means treating everyone in a fair and equal way. It involves respecting the rights of others, making sure everyone has the same opportunities, and making decisions that help the whole community. At La Salle Cancun, justice is key to building trust and keeping peace on campus.

 

Commitment is reflected in everyday actions: attending classes, completing assignments, and participating in university life. Committed students don’t give up easily — they take responsibility and strive to grow academically and personally.

 

These values are not optional. They are essential for students who aim to become leaders who care, professionals who act with ethics, and citizens who make a positive impact on the world.
