The Saint Paul College, Pasig (SPCP) is a private, Roman Catholic school exclusively for girls run by the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres which was founded in France. It is located in St. Paul Road, Brgy. Ugong, Pasig, Philippines. It was established in 1970 when Saint Paul University Manila (then St. Paul College, Manila) decided to relocate their kindergarten, grade school and high school departments in a different area.[1]
History
The Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres first arrived in the Philippines on October 29, 1904 upon the invitation of Bishop Frederick 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]
