  • Repetitio Mater Memoriae (Repetition Is the Mother of Memory)
  • Songs, Chants, and Jingles
  • Wonder and Curiosity
  • Scholé and Contemplation
  • Embodied Learning: Liturgical and Poetic
  • Docendo Discimus (By Teaching We Learn)
  • Optimus Magister Bonus Liber Est (The Best Teacher Is a Good Book)
