Updated February 22, 2023
Ateneo de Manila Grade School or Ateneo Grade School (AGS) covers the pre-school, lower primary and upper primary years of Ateneo de Manila University Basic Education. The exclusive Catholic school for boys has been open since 1859.
It has programs based on Jesuit education with a philosophy of being “persons for others.” Its strategically located school buildings and facilities in Quezon City provide a safe and peaceful atmosphere for its students.
AGS provides a well-balanced education that nurtures its students to be academically competent. At the same time, AGS focuses on forming the Christian values of the youth to become leaders in the service of God. The school follows the K-12 curriculum which is being implemented in the Philippines.
The Ateneo Grade School has six grade levels that cover Grade 1 to Grade 6. In addition to this is a kindergarten level that completes the Ateneo de Manila K-12 Basic Education continuum. The core of its academic program is the Christian Life Education (CLE) which aims to develop a deeper understanding of the word of God. The academic program is balanced with co-curricular and formation activities that aim to develop a well-rounded child growing in Christ-centeredness, competence, commitment, compassion, and conscience.
