The primary vision of APNA is to empower SAC and its Satellites to become a preeminent, nationally and internationally renowned educational institution (e.g., a Deemed University) in the State of Karnataka that serves its constituencies and neighboring states, cities, villages and other communities in achieving academic excellence, self-development, spiritual values, ethical integrity, socioeconomic justice, and enthusiasm for community service, guided by the lofty ideals of Saint Aloysius Gonzaga, and for the greater glory of God.

The primary mission of APNA is to realize the vision of APNA by serving St. Aloysius College (SAC), its satellite institutions and social development projects, its administration, faculty, staff and students with developmental support of new ideas, new programs, new global outreach opportunities, and funds (in cash or kind) for implementing them.
