Where are the young you have…

How do I reach students who are more…

At Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu, learning extends beyond textbooks and classroom walls. Through programs designed to broaden horizons and deepen formation, students are given opportunities to engage the world with clarity, confidence, and purpose. One such initiative is iC2E China, an international immersion program that brought Senior High School Ateneo Hearters to various cultural and historical sites in China. The program enabled students to encounter local communities, explore heritage towns, experience diverse traditions, and appreciate the country’s rich natural landscapes. These experiences allowed students to connect academic learning with real-world contexts, fostering reflection, adaptability, and cultural understanding. Central to the immersion was a renewed appreciation of Chinese heritage, an integral part of the school’s identity. By engaging directly with history, language, and community life, students gained a deeper sense of their roots while developing a broader global perspective. Anchored in Ignatian education, iC2E China reflects Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu’s commitment to holistic formation—forming students who are culturally grounded, globally aware, and prepared to lead with conscience and compassion. As the school continues to open pathways for meaningful learning beyond borders, Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu invites future Ateneo Hearters to be part of this journey.
