School Emblem

The cross

The cross stands for the universal love of Jesus. The vertical line is harmony between God and people; the horizontal line is harmony among people. Where the two lines meet, they stand for loving God and loving everyone. In the spirit of Jesus, Yu-Jen teachers guide children patiently, helping them grow up generous and kind.

The six rays

The six rays stand for the six areas of education: moral, intellectual, physical, social, aesthetic and spiritual. They shine out so that children grow in themselves and reach out to others.

The two hands

Strong, caring hands nurture children who are balanced in all six areas: courteous and well-read, wise in solving problems, healthy and happy, kind and good with others, and striving for a full life.

When the six areas of education mature, blossom and bear fruit, seeds grow into a forest and caterpillars become angels. This is every educator's joy. But "let us not forget that it is time that turns seeds into a forest and caterpillars into angels." May we all take this to heart.
