Ateneo de Manila University (AdMU) is one of the leading universities in the Philippines. It is located in Loyola Heights, Quezon City in Metro Manila. The Ateneo de Manila was established on December 10, 1859 after the Spanish priests of the Society of Jesus took over the Escuela Pia (est. 1817 ),a primary school in Intramuros.In 1865,school was renamed Ateneo Municipal de Manila after it was elevated as an institution of secondary education.With the coming American colonial rule in the early 1900s, the Ateneo lost its government subsidy and became a private institution. The Jesuits removed the word "Municipal" from the school's official name. In 1908, the colonial government recognized it as a college. By 1912,the American Jesuits took over the administration.On the evening of August 13, 1932, a fire destroyed the Ateneo de Manila and many other buildings in Intramuros.
