The Gilbertine Institute is a non-profit organization, created with the vision of facilitating a wide variety of educational endeavours which acknowledge parents as the primary educators of their children. While the Institute itself is Catholic, the programmes it facilitates vary. For example, the campus programs provide a Catholic environment most suited to members of the Catholic faith, yet welcome non-Catholic students who wish to participate fully in the programme. Meanwhile, WISDOM Home Schooling serves families from all faith backgrounds, supporting the authority of parents to provide the education of their choice. The Institute will always support parents as they make the appropriate choices for their children’s education, including their personal choice of faith.
