Founded in 1859 by the Jesuits, it is the second-oldest Jesuit-administered institution of higher learning in the Asia-Pacific.
Considered one of the top universities in the Philippines, the university provides primary and secondary education as well as undergraduate and graduate instruction in the humanities, social sciences, natural sciences and engineering, and business. It offers professional degrees through the Graduate School of Business, the School of Government, the School of Medicine and Public Health, and the Ateneo Law School. Known for its Jesuit liberal arts tradition, the humanities are a key feature of Ateneo education at all levels of study.
History
Following the return of the Jesuits to the Philippines in the 19th century, they acquired a small private school in Manila called Escuela Municipal and renamed it to the Ateneo Municipal de Manila in 1859.[8] The school was initially located in the Intramuros district until 1932 when it was destroyed by fire. This forced the transfer of the campus to neighboring Ermita. However, the campus was again destroyed during the Battle of Manila in 1945. Following the Second World War, the campus was gradually transferred to its current location in Loyola Heights, Quezon City, while the Ermita site was eventually sold to Robinsons Malls and is now the site of the Robinsons Manila Mall.[9]
On September 25, 1969, Fr. Pacifico Ortiz, SJ was installed as the first Filipino president of Ateneo de Manila University.[10] At this time, the Graduate School split into the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences and what would become the Graduate School of Business. In 1968, Ateneo co-founded the Asian Institute of Management.[11] Ateneo college opened its doors to its first female students in 1973.[12] The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences moved to Loyola Heights in 1976, and the Padre Faura campus closed in 1977 as the Graduate School of Business and the Law School moved to Salcedo Village, Makati.[13] In February 1978, Ateneo opened what would become the Ateneo Computer Technology Center.[14]
As student activism rose in the 1970s following the proclamation of martial law by President Ferdinand Marcos, Ateneans took an active role along with student organizations from other colleges and universities.[15] On February 11, 1986, alumnus and Antique Governor Evelio Javier was shot and killed. Two weeks later, Ateneans joined thousands of Filipinos in the People Power Revolution along EDSA to oust Marcos.[16]
In 1991, the School of Law became the first law school in the Philippines to confer the Juris Doctor degree.[17] The Ateneo School of Government was established in 1996 and, in 1998, a campus housing the Ateneo Graduate School of Business, Ateneo School of Law, and the Ateneo School of Government, opened in Rockwell Center in Poblacion, Makati.[18] The Science Education Complex was also completed in the Loyola Heights campus. In 2000, the School of Arts and Sciences, consisting of the undergraduate and graduate schools, was restructured into the Loyola Schools.[19] In April 2002, the office of the university president established Pathways to Higher Education-Philippines, one of the university's outreach initiatives, with the help of the Ford and Synergeia Foundations.[20] In July 2002, the Church of the Gesù was completed in the Loyola Heights campus.[21] In 2003, Ateneo entered into its partnership with Gawad Kalinga, its first formal, university-wide social action program.[22]
In July 2006, the Manuel V. Pangilinan Center for Student Leadership was completed.[23] The Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health facility in Ortigas Center, Pasig welcomed its first batch of professional students in June 2007. In 2008, work on a new Rizal Library facility began[24] and a new set of university dormitories was inaugurated.[25]
On July 24, 2022, a former mayor of Lamitan, Basilan, and two others were killed. As a result, the scheduled graduation ceremonies of the university's law school were cancelled.[26]
In October 2022, Ateneo began the process of consolidating the Loyola Schools and Ateneo Professional Schools into its Higher Education cluster.[27]
Campuses
Currently, the main Ateneo de Manila campus is located along Katipunan Avenue in Loyola Heights, Quezon City, Metro Manila.[28] The campus houses the college and the university's grade school and high schools, as well as the Loyola School of Theology. Two other campuses, in Rockwell Center and Salcedo Village, both in Makati, house the university's graduate schools of business, and law. A fourth facility in the Don Eugenio López Sr. Medical Complex in Ortigas Center, Pasig, houses its school of medicine and public health.
Loyola Heights
The 83-hectare (210-acre) main campus is located in Loyola Heights, along the eastern side of Katipunan Avenue, and is south of and adjacent to the campus of Miriam College.[4] The Grade School, High School, and College are located in Ateneo's Loyola Heights campus. Beside the Grade School is the Henry Lee Irwin Theater, built in 1995 to house the school's formal events and productions. Complementing the old college buildings are the Science Education Complex, as well as the PLDT Convergent Technologies Center and the John Gokongwei School of Management Complex.[29] In 2018, the university inaugurated the Areté, Ateneo's "creative hub" for visual, practical, and performing arts. The Areté houses the Ateneo Art Gallery, the Hyundai Hall (a 900-seat theater), the Doreen Gamboa Fernandez Black Box Theater, the Unionbank Ubuntu Space, and spaces for Ateneo's collaborative degree program with Le Cordon Bleu. The Department of Fine Arts and the Ateneo Institute for the Science and Art of Learning and Teaching also hold office in the Areté.
Within the campus is the Rizal Library, the main university library. Also located here are numerous units and research centers affiliated with Ateneo, such as the Institute of Social Order, Institute of Philippine Culture, Institute on Church and Social Issues, Asian Public Intellectuals Fellowships, the Jesuit Communications Foundation, the Jesuit Basic Education Commission, and others. Also situated here are the East Asian Pastoral Institute, Loyola School of Theology, and the San Jose Seminary, all Jesuit formation institutions federated with Ateneo de Manila University. The Loyola Heights campus also hosts three scientific research institutions: the Philippine Institute of Pure and Applied Chemistry, the National Chemistry Instrumentation Center, and the Manila Observatory.[29]
Its athletic facilities include the Blue Eagle Gym, also known as the Loyola Center, standing at the southern end of the campus, and the Moro Lorenzo Sports Center (MLSC) on the northern end. The Blue Eagle Gym is one of the largest gymnasiums among the universities in Metro Manila while the MLSC is often used by the Philippines men's national basketball team as well as other professional teams for their training needs.[29]
The Church of the Gesù, completed in July 2002, stands on top of the Sacred Heart Hill and overlooks the rest of the campus. The school's chapels include the St. Stanislaus Kostka Chapel and the Chapel of the First Companions in the high school, the Chapel of the Immaculate Conception in the college complex's Gonzaga Hall, the chapel at the Loyola House of Studies, and the Chapel of the Holy Guardian Angels in the grade school, among others. Two parish churches outside the campus, the Our Lady of Pentecost Parish in Varsity Hills and the Santa María della Strada Parish in Diliman, are within walking distance from the campus.[29]
Ateneo de Manila is also home to the largest Jesuit community in the Philippines, most of whom reside at the Jesuit Residence in the Loyola Heights campus. These Jesuits are involved in teaching, administration, and research within the university and its affiliated units.[29]
Ateneo de Manila University established the Ateneo Institute of Sustainability in 2013 to oversee the research and implementation of the university's sustainable development initiatives.[30] In 2014, Ateneo launched an electric jeepney shuttle system operated by Meralco within its Loyola Heights campus to replace motorized tricycles as the means of transporting students and personnel around the campus; Ateneo was the first educational institution in the Philippines to implement an electric jeepney transportation system.[31]
Satellite campuses
The Rockwell Center campus of Ateneo de Manila University in Makati houses the School of Law, Graduate School of Business, AGSB-BAP Institute of Banking, and the Ateneo Center for Continuing Education.[29] It includes several research centers, a moot court facility, and the Ateneo Professional Schools Library.[29]
The Salcedo Village campus in Makati houses the different facilities of the former Ateneo Information Technology Institute and the Ateneo Center for Continuing Education. This facility formerly housed the Professional Schools prior to the completion of the Rockwell campus in 1998.[29]
The Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health (ASMPH) at the Don Eugenio López Sr. Medical Complex in Ortigas Center, Pasig, opened its doors to its pioneering batch of students in June 2007. Beside the ASMPH is its partner hospital, The Medical City.[29]
Ateneo Blue Cloud
Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020, Ateneo de Manila University launched the Ateneo Blue Cloud (stylized AteneoBlueCloud), an online platform for the university's scholarly community. Branded as the university's "virtual campus", the Ateneo Blue Cloud hosts school curricula materials based around their framework of an "adaptive design for learning", wherein online, blended, and face-to-face educational programs are accessible by registered users.[32]
Administration and organization
Ateneo de Manila University is governed by a board of trustees currently chaired by Bernadine T. Siy.[33] A central administration, led by President of Ateneo de Manila University Roberto Yap, oversees key initiatives related to academics, international programs, university development and alumni relations, personnel, security, and other university-wide concerns.[34] Yap succeeded Jose Ramon Villarin, on August 1, 2020.[35]
There are also designated vice presidents for Social Development (overseeing social initiatives);[36] University and Global Relations (overseeing internationalization and institutional linkages);[37] Finance (who also acts as the University Treasurer);[38] and Administration & Human Resources.[39]
Ateneo de Manila has been granted autonomous status by the Philippine Commission on Higher Education (CHED) since 2001, granting it relative leeway in introducing new programs. It is one of few universities in the country to be granted this status, which recognizes a number of the university's programs and departments as Centers of Excellence and Centers of Development.
The university is organized into twelve schools, grouped into two units: the higher education unit, and the basic education unit. Each unit is led by a vice president.[40] Each basic education school is led by a principal (JHS and SHS) and a headmaster (grade school);[41] meanwhile, the individual schools under the higher education unit are led by deans, who in turn oversee department chairs and program directors.
Higher education
Ateneo de Manila University's higher education unit consists of nine schools. These are the School of Humanities (SOH); the John Gokongwei School of Management (JGSOM); the School of Science and Engineering (SOSE); the School of Social Sciences (SOSS); the Gokongwei Brothers School of Education and Learning Design(GBSEALD);[42] the Graduate School of Business, which confers the Master of Business Administration (MBA) and Master in Entrepreneurship degrees; the Ateneo School of Law, which confers the Juris Doctor (JD) and Master of Laws (LL.M.) degrees, the Ateneo School of Medicine and Public Health (ASMPh), which offers an integrated Doctor of Medicine (M.D.) - MBA program, and the Ateneo School of Government, which confers the Master in Public Management and Ph.D. in Leadership Studies degrees.
Ateneo de Manila University higher education unit was created by consolidating two existing units: the Loyola Schools, which comprised most of the schools in the Loyola Heights campus offering undergraduate programs; and the Professional Schools, which offered graduate programs and, with the exception of the Ateneo School of Government, were based in the university's satellite campuses in Rockwell the and Ortigas Center.[27]
Basic education
The Ateneo de Manila Grade School (AGS) is the elementary education unit of Ateneo de Manila University, and is the oldest unit in existence - Ateneo de Manila began as a government-run primary school during the Spanish colonial period. It was previously an all-boys school, before switching to co-education in the 2024-25 academic year.It has a population of around 4,000 students.[43] The school had implemented the K-12 program since the 2013–14 academic year.[44] The Ateneo de Manila Grade School is one of the first elementary schools in the Philippines to adopt the Singapore math curriculum.[45]
The Ateneo de Manila Junior High School (AJHS) is the middle school unit of Ateneo de Manila University, offering the seventh to tenth grades for male students. It was established in 2013 to comply with the Philippines' K-12 education system. It currently occupies the old Ateneo de Manila High School campus.[46]
The Ateneo de Manila Senior High School (ASHS) is the senior high school unit of Ateneo de Manila University, offering the eleventh and twelfth grades since 2013 following the restructuring of the university's high school units in adherence with the national K-12 program.

Social initiatives
Ateneo is involved in numerous civic activities. Social engagement is considered by the university as a key part of education and is integrated into the curricula of all university programs.[78] Social entrepreneurship is also integrated into many of its academic programs.[79]
Ateneo's social projects include the Ateneo-Mangyan Project for Understanding and Development to help the Mangyan indigenous group from Mindoro, the Bigay Puso and the Christian Service and Involvement Program for grade school students, and the Damay Immersion and Tulong Dunong program for senior high school students. In college, social development is fostered by programs of the Office of Social Concern and Involvement, including house-builds with the poverty alleviation movement Gawad Kalinga and the Ateneo Labor Trials Program tied into junior philosophy classes. Student organizations and offices of Ateneo also operate their own social involvement programs.[78] At the Ateneo Professional Schools, programs and units like the Graduate School of Business' Mulat-Diwa, the Leaders for Health Program, and the Law School's Human Rights Center and Legal Aid programs aim to form leaders.[78] Other Ateneo initiatives include Pathways to Higher Education to help the underprivileged youth and the Ateneo Center for Educational Development which conducts national teacher and principal training programs.
The centerpiece social program of the university is its university-wide social action program in partnership with Gawad Kalinga which has helped build communities and schools in Payatas, Quezon City, in many Nueva Ecija municipalities, and three villages in the Bicol Region. The Ateneo–Gawad Kalinga partnership has also driven Kalinga Luzon, a rehabilitation effort for the victims of Typhoon Nanmadol (Yoyong); GK Youth–Ateneo, one of the largest and most active student social programs of Ateneo; Kalinga Leyte, an ongoing program which aims to provide long-term rehabilitation for the victims of the Southern Leyte landslide and Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda), and ongoing reconstruction efforts for typhoon-stricken Bicol.[78][80]
The Ugat Foundation, an apostolate for grassroots families, is also located at Ateneo.[81]
International collaboration
Ateneo has international links with several universities, institutions, and organizations, particularly in Asia, Australasia, North and South America, and Europe. Through these cooperative efforts, the university hosts visiting faculty and research fellows from institutions abroad, and in turn, Ateneo faculty members also engage in teaching, research, and study in institutions abroad.[citation needed] International cooperation also includes active student exchange through Philippine immersion programs.
Since 2008, the Global Leadership Program was started for students from three other Catholic Jesuit universities in East Asia aside from tAteneo: Fu Jen Catholic University in Taiwan, Sogang University in South Korea, and Sophia University in Japan.[82]
