Holistic Formation

Ateneo de Manila Junior High School (AJHS) values the importance of the holistic formation of its students through spiritual formation, social involvement, student activities, athletics, guidance and counseling, as well as through the external order and discipline of the school, and the regular coaching, instruction, reflection, and discernment opportunities in Homeroom and Formation sessions. Now more than ever, our students, in this new transition in education, should be formed not just in academic excellence but also assured of spiritual, moral, social, and psychological development.

We strive to form the next generation of ideal Ateneans: Christ-centered persons of Competence, Conscience, and Compassionate Commitment.

Drawing inspiration from the teachings of St Ignatius, we create experiences that allow young men and women to become "well-honed instruments in the hands of God."

In response to Pope Francis' call for all to foster a "culture of encounter" that encourages a renewed personal relationship with Jesus Christ, the AJHS Office of Campus Ministry envisions a vibrant Ignatian Junior High School community united in prayer and faith.

Ignatian Spirituality

Drawing inspiration from the teachings of St. Ignatius, we create experiences that allow young men and women to become "well-honed instruments in the hands of God."

We strive to form the next generation of ideal Ateneans: Christ-centered persons of Competence, Conscience, and Compassionate Commitment.

Inspired by St. Ignatius of Loyola and his spirituality and St. Stanislaus Kostka, our young patron, AJHS desires to form and accompany our young students as they discover themselves: their gifts, talents, and abilities, and as they mature in faith. Understanding that one is part of a larger community, one is called to deepen one’s love for one’s country and to be of service for others.

Student Activities

Every student is given the opportunity to participate in the school’s efforts to provide diverse pathways for self-actualization and servant-leadership formation.
