Get to know FunLec

The Lowtons Foundation for Education and Culture (FUNLEC) is governed by a pedagogical proposal guided by seven principles: God, Family, Morality, Nature, Education, Homeland, and Work. Therefore, all classes taught at FUNLEC locations are planned in order to:

To provide individuals with a deep connection to God, recognizing Him as the architect and balance of the universe, possessor of values and good feelings;

To highlight the family as the foundation of the human being, being the environment of experiences that shape personality;

To reinforce morality, using it as a means to value the customs and attitudes necessary for social balance, based on philosophical, humanitarian, and spiritual arguments.

To contemplate nature as a source of biodiversity and to present pathways to ecological balance;

To understand teaching as the essential path to raising levels of comprehension and expanding knowledge.

Understanding the indispensability of performing good deeds in the country where one lives, as a way of taking ownership as a citizen and as a human being.

To find in work a way to materialize the retention of knowledge and improvements.

Currently, the program established by the Grand Masonic Lodge of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul (GLMEMS) and its affiliated Lodges, in conjunction with the support of the Public Authorities through agreements and the municipal governments, serves the community in six units.

GET TO KNOW FUNLEC

Envisioning quality education is one of the most deeply rooted Masonic objectives. In 1965, a solid foundation was laid for the educational system that today is one of the largest and best, when compared to others proposed by private initiative in the state of Mato Grosso do Sul. This discussion predates the separation of Mato Grosso, and it came to fruition after two decades of intense planning regarding the commitment to human intellectual and spiritual development, in partnership with state and municipal education departments, which provided teachers to carry out the proposal and contributed to the materialization of this idea.
