Ateneo de Iloilo began in 1958 as a parochial school named Santa Maria Catholic School. In 2004, the school was officially recognized as a Jesuit school separate from the Santa Maria Parish and was renamed Ateneo de Iloilo - Santa Maria Catholic School. It is the eighth Jesuit school in the Philippines to be named Ateneo.

The Ateneo de Manila University Graduate School of Business has a satellite school in Iloilo. It is located in Ateneo de Iloilo's San Rafael Campus. The presence of this graduate school is a trial balloon of Ateneo de Iloilo's plan to become a higher education institution in the future and to eventually become a university.
