Symbolism
Toothed-blade – it represents the fundamental role of the Academy to prepare the learners to have productive lives and to mold them to attain a refined character. The blue color, it symbolizes education which serves as the means of the Academy in realizing its very role. Just as the teeth of a circular saw is use to cut an idle log of a tree to become useful lumbers, the Academy transforms its learners into prized assets of the country rather than let them become liabilities of the society.
Parallel circles – It is the representation of God’s ceaseless love, guidance, and protection to the Academy. The colors it bears – green and yellow – symbolizes life and wisdom, respectively.
School Structure held in Open Hands – The school structure in raised open-palmed hands connotes that the Academy professes its faith to God, that He is the center of its foundation, and that the education it offers is anchored on God’s teachings in the Bible. Thus, its learners can expect that they will not only be endowed with secular knowledge, but, above all, with God’s holy wisdom, making them safe and secure in His presence and His love.
Laurel leaves – The entwined laurel branches symbolize synergy and its leaves represent the seven founding fathers of the Academy (Atty. Fausto T. Oliverio, Mr. Felimonito B. Villegas Jr. – the only two who continue the legacy that they have started). The combined individual aspirations, faith, willpower, and resources of the founders of the Academy has able to build a promising learning institution not far and impossible from becoming a prime one.
Torch and Rays – It symbolizes Christian education which brings enlightenment, setting its learning free from ignorance to faith and life.
