💙 Formation Friday at Ateneo de Davao University Grade School is a designated day where pupils focus on holistic formation activities to foster not just academic growth but also personal, moral, and spiritual development. These are moments for pupils to reflect on their actions, decisions, and relationships, aiming for self-awareness and growth in character.

FORMATION FRIDAY | An eventful day filled with grace, unity, and growth! From celebrating the Holy Mass of the nativity of our Blessed Mother Mary to the exciting opening of the Recreational Games, the launching of the month-long Season of Creation that inspires and reminds us to love and care for Our Common Home, and the conduct of the School Ability Test for Kindergarten pupils that measures our pupil's capacity to learn. Indeed, it is a day of faith, fun, and future!

Formation Friday at Ateneo de Davao University Grade School is a day of activities and a crucial part of our mission to shape pupils as 'persons for others,' a core Ignatian value of Jesuit education. This day provides a more focused opportunity for shaping well-rounded individuals in mind, body, and spirit.
