			=== 1949 ===
			*Many Jesuit missionaries who were obliged to leave China in 1949 found a new home and mission in the overseas Chinese community of the Philippines. To facilitate their evangelization of the Chinese community, the Jesuits decided to set up a school in downtown Manila. Begging for donations by going door-to-door in Chinatown, Fr. Jean Desautels, S.J., a French-Canadian Jesuit who was part of the China mission accumulated a measley 20,000 pesos, 80,000 pesos short of the 100,000 pesos required to purchase the land for the school. He was accompanied by Basilio King and Ambrose Chiu, two Chinese businessmen, both Ateneo de Manila alumni, who wanted to help set up an Ateneo de Chino. At this point, Fr. Desautels was about to give up on the idea of establishing a school. His prayers were answered when friends -- both clergy and lay -- looked into what they could contribute. <ref name=wikipedia>[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xavier_School] Wikipedia.ORG. Accessed October 2007.</ref>
			===1955===
			*The Xavier School Campus circa 1963.At 3:30PM on December 15, 1955, Fr. Desautels was able to close the deal and purchase the land, an hour and a half before the 5:00PM deadline agreed by Fr. Desautels and the seller of the land. Eventually, the group of Jesuits led by the late Frs. Jean Desautels, Louis Papilla, and Cornelius Pineau set up Xavier School (Kuang Chi). <ref name="wikipedia"/>
			===1956===
			*In 1956, in a converted warehouse in Echague, Manila, the school opened its doors to its initial batch of students — 170 children of Chinese immigrants in the Philippines. The school was named after St. Francis Xavier, one of the first leaders of Jesuit missions in China, which was pursued but unwillingly left unfinished by the school’s Jesuit founders. The school was also named after Paul Hsü Kuangchi (Pinyin: Xŭ Guāngqĭ; Simplified Chinese: 徐光启; Traditional Chinese: 徐光啓), a 16th-century Chinese nobleman and high court official who converted to Christianity and supported its spread in China. <ref name="wikipedia"/>
			===1960===
			*Being a Jesuit school helped establish the school’s reputation. In 1960, Xavier School transferred to a 7-hectare property in Greenhills, San Juan, then only an area of rice fields and grasslands. Within a decade, the outlying areas became home to many Xavier families, evolving into one of Manila’s most dynamic Chinese-Filipino communities today. The present campus is a complex of 12 buildings housing over 4,000 students from Nursery to High School. <ref name="wikipedia"/>

Part of its mission is evangelizing the local Chinese and promoting their integration into Philippine society. It was a task of building two bridges: the bridge between Christ and the Chinese Filipinos (Evangelization), and the bridge between the Chinese community and the larger Philippine society (Integration). <ref name="wikipedia"/>
