 The school reopened in temporary structures of nipa and sawali erected in the patio of the pre-war compound.Shortly after its reopening during the school year 1945-1946, the Atheneum was committed by Bishop Jurgens to the direction of the Society of Jesus, and prior to school year 1949-1950, complete jurisdiction was transferred to the Society, due to the withdrawal of the C.I.C.M.missionaries after the war.
