Student Organizations

Ateneo believes in the total human development of persons who will be of service to others. It is because of this conviction, along with the principle that learning does not only occur in the classroom, that Ateneo invests equal energy in the encouragement and development of student organizations. Student organizations are regarded as partners in the promotion of the Ateneo values of academic excellence and the pursuit of truth, social justice and solidarity, cultural rootedness and artistic development, and spiritual maturity and holistic formation. The array of student activities caters to a wide spectrum of student interests.

Cultural groups enable students to develop their talents, as well as gain a deeper understanding of local and foreign cultures.

Business groups organize activities to mold competent managers and entrepreneurs with a social responsibility, capable of catapulting industries to greater heights in the future.

Faith-formation and sector-based organizations provide assistance to various communities and groups, and in the process, help students appreciate the complex and interrelated issues of different sectors as seen through urban poverty, the plight of street children, cancer stricken youth, and other vulnerable sectors.

Science and technology organizations organize symposia and talks to learn about theoretical developments and practical applications in specific fields of inquiry. They also participate in national contests, set up exhibits, and schedule on-campus tutorials to share knowledge with others.

Students join sports and varsity teams where they learn the virtues of teamwork and discipline while engaging in friendly competition with teams from other universities. It is through these competitions that the school spirit is expressed.

Athletics in Ateneo de Manila

Aside from academics and a myriad of co-curricular activities in school, there are students who heed the call to do more by joining one of Ateneo College’s fifteen (15) UAAP sports teams and five (5) non-UAAP sports teams.

These teams represent the school in competitions throughout the school year and a good number of these teams have won championships in their field. Ateneo also sends varsity teams to represent the Philippines in international competitions. Even overseas, our student-athletes have been building a name for themselves and the University.

The school provides support to the athletes, the coaches, and their teams in many ways. These include accident insurance for athletes and academic support for athletes to help them balance their tough training, competition, and academic schedules.

On and off the playing arenas, participation in varsity athletics is also a venue for Ignatian leadership formation.
