Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu (SHS-AdC) (), originally known as Sacred Heart School for Boys, is a private, Catholic, college-preparatory school run by the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus. It was established in 1955. On March 4, 2010, the Board of Trustees of Sacred Heart School for Boys unanimously approved the changing of the school's name to Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu. It had also been known as Sacred Heart School of the Society of Jesus, or Sacred Heart School – Jesuit. It is the ninth Jesuit school in the Philippines to bear the name Ateneo. Its curriculum includes a Chinese language program. Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu aside from providing academic excellence also serves as a bridge between the Filipino and Chinese Filipino communities through Christian education that accepts not only Chinese Filipinos but also students who have no Chinese roots. ==History== The seed for the establishment of a Jesuit-run school in central Visayas was planted in 1953. Fr. Paul O'Brien, then the superior of all Jesuits belonging to the former missions in China, was approached by the Catholic Chinese-Filipino community of Cebu City regarding the possibility of establishing a school that has a Chinese language program in its curriculum for the education of their children. Once approval was secured from the Superior General of the Jesuits in Rome, the school initially operated as an affiliate of San Jose-Recolotes. The Fathers of San Jose Recoletos generously provided it with their Principal and a contingent of lay faculty members. In 1955, Sacred Heart School was officially established as an independent school, built along Gen. Maxilom Avenue, Cebu City, with Fr. Francisco Heras, S.J., one of the Jesuits expelled from Communist China, as the first rector. The school was an all-boys institution. On 25 February 1965, Sacred Heart School became a Filipino school, approved by the Bureau of Education to teach the regular curriculum prescribed by the government with a Chinese Language and Arts program. The integration of the Jesuits of the China Province delegation in the Philippines into the Jesuit Philippine Province in 27 September 1988 resulted in all the former delegation works being placed under the care and control of the Philippine Jesuit provincial superior. This facilitated the assignment of Filipino Jesuits to the three Chinese-Filipino schools run by Jesuits: the Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu, Ateneo de Iloilo - Santa Maria Catholic School (Iloilo), and Xavier School (San Juan, Metro Manila). Sacred Heart School for Boys was officially changed to Sacred Heart School – Jesuit (SHS-J) in 2000. During the same year, in school year 2000-01, SHS-J began accepting girls in the Grade School Department, and in 2006 produced its first batch of graduates with female students. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
