The leading Filipino, Catholic, and Jesuit junior high school that holistically cultivates servant-leaders towards excellence for the greater glory of God
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.
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.
