The Office of the Assistant Principal for Formation (APFOR) values the importance of the holistic formation of Ateneo de Manila Junior High School (AJHS) students through the external order and discipline of the school, spiritual formation, social involvement, guidance, student activities, and athletics. Now more than ever, our students, from the confines of their homes, should be formed not just in academic excellence but also be assured of spiritual, moral, social, and psychological development.
In an online environment, the APFOR will still promote student welfare through the maintenance of student discipline among students through different character development programs that include spiritual formation, servant-leadership, overall wellness, guidance, social involvement, and athletics programs among others.
Another feature of the school’s non-academic formation structure is the Intensified Dialogue on Students’ Formation Program (iDSF). Each class will have a group of formators that includes the Cluster Coordinator, Class Moderator, and subject teachers. This group is expected to have periodic formal and informal meetings throughout the year to discuss their students’ situations and contexts with the view of planning and implementing courses of action to help the boys.
