Ateneo de Manila University is divided into two major schools of higher education: the Loyola Schools, located in the Loyola Heights Campus, and the Professional Schools, located in the Rockwell and Salcedo Campuses in Makati. The Loyola Schools is the tertiary level school unit of the Ateneo de Manila University that offers undergraduate and graduate degree programs in the Arts and Sciences. It is composed of the School of Humanities, the John Gokongwei School of Management, the School of Science and Engineering, and the School of Social Sciences. Each undergraduate has a home base in a particular school. Still, most preserve the diverse spectrum of interests that helped them get into Ateneo in the first place, using electives to round out their studies.
The Ateneo stays true to its mission of forming men and women with and for others through its many programs created to alleviate poverty by helping capacitate and empower marginalized communities and sectors of Philippine society. Thus, aside from instilling academic excellence in its students, the University also molds future leaders who would be at the forefront of nation-building.Among such programs, Gawad Kalinga (“to bestow care”)- Ateneo envisions a new Philippines and world with no more slums, by building homes and vibrant communities in depressed areas. Pathways to Higher Education assists academically-gifted but underprivileged youth from the public school system obtain a complete college education. The Ateneo Center for Educational Development (ACED) helps public basic education units achieve high degrees of school performance in order to produce competent and well-rounded students and citizens. And the Disaster Response and Management Team joins other sectors of society in attending to the desperate situations of victims of natural calamities.Countless other initiatives for authentic social development and nation-building abound throughout all units of the Ateneo de Manila.
To understand the soul of the Ateneo de Manila University -- what shaped it and where it came from, where it is going and where it can take you -- it is essential to understand its motto, Lux in Domino, or "Light in the Lord."From the letter of St. Paul to the Ephesians (5:8), these words capture the spirit of a way of life which the Ateneo holds up to her sons and daughters as their best contribution to the work by which God transforms the world. To be "light in the Lord" in all fullness demands moving insistently and deliberately towards God as the center of a person's life, identifying the issues that such a centering poses, and then moving out to the world to find ever new ways of constructing the edifice, cultivating the garden, painting the masterpiece, that God is unfolding in one's life.
Auxiliary units are established by the Board of Trustees and follow the general University Policy. They operate with their own staff, some of whom may be drawn from the various schools or other units of the University.Each auxiliary unit is headed by a Director appointed by the President for a term of three years, renewable for another three years.The Director is responsible to the President or any other official who may be designated by the President. If suitable, there should be a Policy Committee appointed by the President and advisory to the Director. A Chairman of this committee, other than the Director, shall be elected by and from the members of the Committee.
The Ateneo Center for Asian Studies, established in April 2001, is a research center that aims to promote Asian Studies through disciplinary, inter-disciplinary, and multi-disciplinary research and other related activities such as seminars, workshops, and lectures. Since 2013, it has offered thesis/dissertation grants to the faculty of the Ateneo de Manila whose research topic is on Asia. The Center engages in collection of materials on Asian Studies; hosting of research fellows; dissemination and promotion of research through publications. Primarily with the help of its international advisory board that consists of prominent scholars from Northeast Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, and Australia, it links with institutions both in the Philippines and abroad. It regularly offers language courses, specifically, Korean, Indonesian, Thai, and Russian to young professionals who need the language skills for research or work.
The Ateneo Center for Economic Research and Development (ACERD) was founded in 1989 as the research unit of the Department of Economics in economics and economic policy. ACERD directs and manages the research activities of the Department of Economics that focus on applied economics and public policy in order to enhance teaching and contribute to policy debates and formulation in the Philippines, both of which are necessary for nation building.
The Ateneo Center for English Language Teaching (ACELT) is a center for education and development in English language and literature teaching (ELLT). It follows the Jesuits’ prime education objective - "to form men-and-women-for-others who will live not for themselves but for God and his Christ" (Arrupe, Pedro, S.J., July 1973: 26). ACELT seeks to contribute to this task through the formation of professionally competent, socially concerned teachers, teacher trainers, and ELLT managers - multipliers for the process of institutional and social change.
The Ateneo Center for Social Entrepreneurship (ACSEnt) is the Ateneo de Manila University’s center committed to foster social transformation and contribute to nation-building by cultivating a vibrant social entrepreneurship sector in the Philippines. As part of the ongoing initiative to contribute to inclusive growth and development, ACSEnt’s fundamental priority is focused on developing an ecosystem comprised of multi-sector partners to support and enhance the creation of programs in research, education and training, advocacy and incubation. Such programs intend to further advance social entrepreneurship in the country and engage leaders, experts, practitioner and advocates who can extend collaborative partnerships with communities and other grassroots sectors, creating mutual socio-economic and environmental benefits that support national development.

Thank you once again for doing your part to keep Edarabia the most trusted education source.
Many trees, wide open spaces, clean. But on working days there are many cars in and out. So the good time to visit is in the weekend. I go there for mass in the Ateneo Church at the 1st and 3rd week every month. Inside, it provides shuttles for free to take students and visitors from place to place, but walking is much more nicer.

The Ateneo strives to develop future leaders who not only excel in academics but have genuine concern for others.
Subjects like Theology and Philosophy encourage critical thinking and interaction while subtly bringing students closer to God.
Thank you, ADMU! God bless! :)

I had fun at the Ateneo Grade school grounds as I accompany my nephew on his activity at Boys Camp Night. Really enjoyed my experience with lots of fun games, foods and crazy students. Looking forward of joining again next year.

Iam just a week old in Ateneo, yet I am beginning to love it here. So to say you got everything! What inspires me personally, is the integrating of different cultures that are so unique and so diverse, but can so blend in harmoniously through the effort of Ateneo spirit! I love it, thanks...!

I went here with my fellow co-teachers for a workshop. The school is well-maintained and the security is strict to outsiders. The school building that we attended to had great interiors. For snacks, there is no nearby resto on that building so we decided to go outside on our lunch time. The professor who facilitated the workshop is a real pro and even gave us free files on email.
