St. Paul College, Pasig, also referred to as SPCP or SPC Pasig, is a private, Roman Catholic school exclusively for girls in Pasig, Philippines run by the Congregation of Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres (SPC), a teaching order founded as the Daughters of the School. It is one of the 40 schools owned, managed, and operated by the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres (SPC) in the Philippines.

St. Paul College, Pasig, is located in St. Paul Road, Brgy. Ugong, Pasig, Philippines. It was established in 1970 when St. Paul University Manila (then St. Paul College, Manila and currently one of the seven campuses comprising the St. Paul University System) decided to relocate their kindergarten, grade school and high school departments to a different area.[1]

History

[edit]

The Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres first arrived in the Philippines on October 29, 1904, on the invitation of Bishop Frederick Z. Rooker of Jaro, Iloilo to open a school in Dumaguete for the "protection of faith". Other invitations followed and more Sisters arrived for a hospital in Iloilo, schools in Vigan, Tuguegarao, and Manila, and a leprosarium in Culion.

The Congregation is now serving forty schools all over the Philippines aside from hospitals and pastoral communities.[2]
