Abstract :
This study examined the Vision-Mission of Colegio de Santa Rita de San Carlos, Inc. (CSR) as experienced and
internalized through the Augustinian Recollect (A.R.) way of education using a concurrent mixed-method design. The
analysis used the CSR survey data with 1,869 respondents. Quantitative data came from twenty two Likert scale items,
analyzed using frequencies, percentages, means, and standard deviations. Qualitative data came from four open-ended
questions analyzed through thematic analysis and integrated through joint display. Quantitative findings showed very
strong internalization of the school's A.R. educational identity. Prayer and spiritual growth yielded the highest-rated
indicators while the weakest area fell on the personal ownership of A.R identity. Faculty revealed the highest level of
ownership while the students obtained the lowest. Qualitative themes confirmed that the CSR's Vision-Mission is strongly
present in school life, but the next challenge lies in the shared appreciation to deeper personal ownership and active
mission engagement.
