ABOUT AJHS

Vision

The Ateneo de Manila Junior High School is a leading Filipino, Catholic, and Jesuit institution committed to fostering a safe and life-giving community that holistically cultivates servant-leaders towards excellence for the greater glory of God.

Mission

Inspired by the teachings of St. Ignatius, we nurture young adolescents to discover themselves and become persons-for-others through a well-balanced academic and formation program by:

instilling in them the values of Christ-centeredness, competence, conscience, compassion, and commitment;
equipping them with essential life skills; and
forming them into responsible stewards of creation

so that they may navigate the future with discernment and become a force for good for an inclusive, sustainable, and just society.

"In the Junior High School, the young man discovers himself, hones his talents and abilities and develops his leadership skills. As he matures in faith, he grows in understanding that he is part of a larger community called to deepen his love for country and to contribute as a steward of God’s creation."

Profile of the Ateneo de Manila Basic Education Graduate

The Ateneo de Manila Basic Education graduate is a young individual who was molded by Ignatian tradition and pedagogy into a future leader, a nation builder, and a catalyst of progress in the global community.

Upon the student’s graduation from Basic Education, the student would have been formed into a person who:

is CHRIST-CENTERED;

is COMPETENT in all areas of one’s life;

has a well-formed CONSCIENCE, with the courage to defend what is right and to right what is wrong;

has COMPASSION for others, especially the poor and disadvantaged,

a compassion that leads to a life of service and work for justice and peace;

and

lives out one’s COMMITMENT to God, and to society as a steward of creation.
