Abstract

The Catholic school serves as a vital educational institution shaping graduates to benefit society. However, Syuradikara, a Catholic high school in Ende, East Nusa Tenggara, lacks an optimized landscape design reflecting its Catholic identity and supporting learning activities. This research aims to evaluate Syuradikara's implementation of Catholic identity in its landscape design and provide recommendations for improvement. Using qualitative methods including observation and interviews, the study focuses on five principles of Catholic identity, understanding of God, relationship with Him, and spatial hierarchy in the church. Findings reveal shortcomings in utilizing outdoor space for learning activities and incorporating Catholic symbolism in the landscape design. Recommendations include aligning landscape design with church spatial hierarchy, integrating Catholic symbolism appropriately, fostering students' holistic understanding of God, and enhancing their relationship with Him through imagination, knowledge, and action. By addressing these aspects, Syuradikara can evolve into a Catholic high school that not only imparts academic knowledge but also nurtures faithful individuals beneficial to both the nation and society.
