Welcome to the Junior High School Department of Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu.

High school continues to build the abilities and talents of the students nurtured since they were in grade school. The Junior High School Department’s educational and formative efforts stand on the foundation of the spirituality of St. Ignatius that our Jesuit mentors share to us – the Ignatian Spirituality, key to this is finding God in all things and all things in God.

The Junior High School Department of Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu naturally offers a holistic program developing not just the mind and hearts, but the soul and body of the child as well – curricular, spiritual & character formation and special programs especially in sports and the arts.

Curricular Programs

The curricular programs of the Junior High School Department of Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu offer the regular prescribed program required for secondary education and much more owing to the fact that our foundations defined and suffused all our efforts.

English : Reflective Communicators

Reflective Communicators

The Junior High School English program hones our students to be reflective communicators (to grow not just in wisdom, “sapens”, but also in eloquence.)

Filipino : Tagapagyaman ng Wika at Kultura

Tagapagyaman ng Wika at Kultura

The language curriculum also offers Filipino. At bilang mga Filipino, may diin din tayo sa pagkatuto sa pambansang wika at kultura. We view our youth and Filipino teachers as “tagapagyaman ng wika at kultura”.

Chinese : Building Bridges with Communicative Competence

Building Bridges with Communicative Competence

And they say, the future language of the world may not be English, so it is to the advantage, a great advantage, of our students that they learn, the pervasively spoken language in the world, Chinese, through our Chinese language program that builds communicative competence.

CLF : Kindlers of Christ's Light in the World

Kindlers of Christ’s Light in the World

Central to the Ateneo Hearter’s formation is the forging and nourishing closeness with Christ, which our CLF program helps to foster. To guide our students to become Kindler’s of Christ light to the World (not just to the immediate parish, but true Lux Oriens – light to others) is our CLF program’s call.

Social Studies : Transformative Social Servant-Leaders

Transformative Social Servant-Leaders

Forging ahead with the value of compassion, the societal self of the student, our Social Studies program anchors on the work to form Transformative Social Servant-Leaders and mind you it’s not a training to become politicians.

Healthy and Fit to Lead

“What good is a noble heart, if the body is tearing apart?” This is why our PE & Health area champions the “healthy and fit to lead” program.

TLE/ICT : Ignatian Challenge Takers

Ignatian Challenge Takers

Our efforts at present necessarily are preparations for the future, and our link or bridge to this future of our students is technology. Teaching and learning is enhanced when we tap into, use the language and medium of our digital learners. Our ICT teachers embrace this endeavor being exemplars of Ignatian Challenge Takers.
