Ateneo de Davao University (AdDU; Filipino: Pamantasang Ateneo de Davao) is a private Catholic basic and higher education institution in Davao City, Davao del Sur, Philippines. It is run by the Philippine Jesuit Province. Before the Jesuits took over administration of the school in 1948, it was called St. Peter's Parochial School. The Jesuits renamed the school "Ateneo de Davao" after taking control.
At the time, the Jesuits named all the schools that they were opening "Ateneo." Ateneo de Davao is the seventh school in the country to be named Ateneo by the Jesuits. The university has five undergraduate schools, namely, the School of Arts and Sciences, School of Business and Governance, the School of Engineering and Architecture, the School of Education, and the School of Nursing. The graduate programs are under these units as well. The College of Law is a separate unit within the university. The university also runs a grade school and high school, both Junior High and Senior High.
The university was granted "Institutional Accreditation" by the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities, in which only six universities in the country were given such recognition,[2] and was also granted autonomous status by the Philippine Commission on Higher Education.[3]
