Last January 18, some 796 junior students from all over the country, all among the top five of their respective schools, underwent a special Ateneo College Entrance Test (ACET), for a chance to qualify in the 47th Ateneo Junior Summer Seminar (AJSS). AJSS is a renowned summer program conducted by the Ateneo de Manila University Office of Admission and Aid for 3rd year students, with the goal of introducing them to college campus life, particularly college-level courses, professors, facilities, and activities. 73 of the examinees were selected, with 48 students coming from Metro Manila. Chiang Kai Shek College, along with Ateneo de Manila High School and Saint Jude Catholic School, has the most number of participants in the program. Kristine Ang, Andrew Brandon Ong, and Jan Kendrick Ong were the chosen participants from CKSC high school department.

Courses offered to the talented students include English, Philosophy, Biology, Chemistry, Physics, and Psychology. Non-academic activities include Computer, Management and Environmental Science Camps, Sportsfest, and Play Presentations. The wide variety of selections ensures that the students are not only gifted in mind, but also in service to others and exposed to otherĀ  aspects in life.

Spanning from April 10 to May 24, it is true that the seminar made the summer of each of the 73 students fulfilling and memorable. They hope to maximize what they learned in six weeks, and to use their learnings for the good of others in the future.
