The Ateneo de Zamboanga University (Filipino: Pamantasang Ateneo de Zamboanga), also referred to by its acronym AdZU is a private Catholiccoeducational basic and higher education institution run by the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus in Zamboanga City, Philippines. AdZU began in 1912 as Escuela Catolica, a parochial school run by Spanish Jesuits.[3][better source needed] It is the second oldest Jesuit school in the Philippines and the second Jesuit school to be named Ateneo. It initially offered primary and secondary education for boys. It became a college in 1952 and a university in August 2001. It operates on three campuses. The main campus located in La Purisima Street, Zamboanga City is where the tertiary and senior high school departments are located and the annex campus in BarangayTumaga, outside Zamboanga City proper, is where the junior high school and grade school units are located. The third and newest campus is the Lantaka Campus located in N.S. Valderroza St. Zamboanga City. This campus is a former resort hotel which was donated by its owner to the university. AdZU repurposed the facility and is now being used for educational, spiritual, religious, and social development purposes.[4]
On July 7, 2017, the historic 67-year-old Brebeuf Gymnasium was razed to the ground;[5] the Sauras, Kostka, and Gonzaga Halls were also affected.[6] The Zamboanga City government estimated the damages to amount to 5 million.[7]
Admissions
AdZU operates with a selective admissions policy.[8] All of the units of the university require, among other things, passing an entrance examination (which in the case of the Grade School is instead termed an 'assessment test'); past education records are also required for examination. The School of Medicine requires results in the National Medical Admission Test while the College of Law requires results in the PhilSAT; all other units administer their own entrance examinations.[9][better source needed]

Student council
The Sanggunian ng mga Mag-aaral ng Ateneo de Zamboanga University (SMADZU) was the college unit's student government before 2009. Currently in its place is El Consejo Atenista, which was created with the objective of being a more representative student government.[11][better source needed]
