Abstract

Aims: This study aimed to assess the level of awareness and acceptance of the Philosophy, Vision, Mission, Goals, and Objectives (PVMGO) among school stakeholders. Study Design:  The research employed a descriptive survey method to gather data on stakeholder perceptions of the school’s PVMGO. Place and Duration of Study: The study was conducted at the University of La Salette, Incorporated-High School, between May to June 2025. Methodology: A total of 504 respondents (48 administrators, faculty, staff; 236 students; and 220 parents/ guardians and alumni) participated in the study through a convenience sampling. A self-constructed questionnaire that directly measures the PVMGO of the school. Results: The results showed that all stakeholder groups demonstrated high levels of awareness and acceptance across all areas of the PVMGO. Among administrators, faculty, and staff, the highest mean scores were observed in Philosophy (M=3.92), Vision (M=3.91), and Mission (M=3.90), with General Acceptability rated at M=3.84. Students also reflected consistently high results, with mean ranging from M=3.66 to M=3.72, while parents and alumni scored slightly lower but still within the high range, with means from M=3.52 to M=3.62. Conclusion: With these findings, it is evident that the PVMGO remains relevant and timely in today’s educational landscape and have continuously guiding the institution’s direction and development. Further, it implies that the institution has effectively communicated its PVMGO across stakeholders. However, despite the high ratings, the findings served as a guide in developing policies that further strengthens the application of PVMGO into academic instruction, co-curricular programs, employee training and development, and community engagement.
