APC aims to form graduates who know how to make a living from the land, and sustain the natural resources in their domain; who are grounded in their people’s cultural values, practices and identity, and contribute to sustaining the cultural vitality of their communities.
FACILITIES
Adagi Balay means ‘big house.’ This is the center for welcoming, blessing, appreciating, and sharing. The cultural concept of Adagi Balay is a place for important gatherings (amul-amul). It is located within the forest and thus continuously connects with it through the use of space shared with the forest.
The Dalepaanen is a place for basic human needs and relations. This is where children from neighboring villages and staff coming from downstream are housed, and many consider this facility a second home.
