History
The Ateneo de Zamboanga began in 1912 as the Escuela Catolica, a parochial school run by Spanish Jesuits at the old site of the Immaculate Conception Church.
Motto and Seal The Ateneo de Zamboanga University seal reflects the mission of the school.
The school's motto is "Pro Deo et Patria," ("In the service of God and Country") is found at the top of the seal. And on the bottom, is the name of the school.
In a circular field is the school shield. The red and yellow stripes are derived from the coat of arms of the family of Oñaz, the paternal line of St. Ignatius of Loyola. In the center are two wolves and a pot. These are of the medallion of the family of Loyola, the maternal line of St. Ignatius. This stands for the generosity for which the house of Loyola was well known. Across on the upper right portion of the shield symbolizes the Christian character of the Ateneo. A vinta indicates the various cultural communities of the South Western Philippines, where the school is located. On the bottom left are a book and torch, the traditional symbols of education.
Above the shield is a glorious sunburst, inscribed with the monogram of the Society of Jesus, IHS, surmounted by a cross, and below of which are three nails. The "IHS" are the first letters of the name of Jesus in Greek. Emanating from the name of Jesus are the Blue and white rays that signify his gifts and grace for all.
