The Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu (Abbreviation: SHS - AdC; Simplified Chinese: 宿务亚典耀圣心学校; Traditional Chinese: 宿務亞典耀聖心學校; Pinyin: SùWù YàDiǎnYào ShèngXīn XuéXiào), formerly known as Sacred Heart School for Boys, Sacred Heart School of the Society of Jesus or Sacred Heart School–Jesuit, is a private, Catholic college preparatory school run by the Philippine Province of the Society of Jesus. Its programs are both Chinese and Filipino in character.
The school was built in 1955 along Gen. Maxilom Avenue, Cebu City with the first rector, Rev. Fr. Francisco Heras S.J., one of the Jesuits expelled from Communist China. It transferred to a much bigger campus in Canduman, Mandaue, Cebu in 2007.
The school was primarily an all-boys institution. It opened its doors to female students in 1998 but only up to a few levels in grade school. In 2006, the school produced its first batch of graduates with female students.
On March 4, 2010, the Board of Trustees of the Sacred Heart School unanimously approved the changing of the school's name to Sacred Heart School – Ateneo de Cebu.
