FES adheres to the belief that the family is the fundamental school of human values and social virtues. It is where parents play the role of primary educators, forming children in truth through words and good example. It is in the family where children learn to dialogue, understand and respect other people’s points of view. In the family, children first learn to yield their opinion when truth demands it; thus, learning how to be helpful and caring for others.

​

The family is the place where children are gradually taught to exercise and develop their freedom with personal responsibility. Consequently, this approach brings stability and solidarity to families living in society. Ultimately, it contributes to making society more cohesive.
 
FES is all about Building Loving & Lasting Families. This philosophy is best summarised in the following statements:

​

• “Strong families are based on solid character formation of individuals.”

• “The family is the original cell of social life, and family life is an initiation into life in society.”

• “A healthy robust family is where members have a strong sense of social responsibility in helping their peers".
