Saint Pedro Poveda College

Run by the Teresian Association of Lay Missionaries, the school is rooted in Roman Catholic values and the life of St. Pedro Poveda. Its core educational philosophy, the Personalized Education of POVEDA (PEP), emphasizes Christ-centeredness, excellence, commitment, the empowerment of women, and the transformation of society.

The school offers a regular academic program for Grades 1 to 12, alongside co-educational Preschool and the Remote, Independent, and Self-paced Education (RISE) Homeschooling Program. The curriculum is designed to nurture critical thinking and creativity, supported by a framework of spiritual formation and values education.

The school aims to shape compassionate, purpose-driven learners who are committed to excellence and service. Graduates are prepared to be leaders of faith, character, and purpose, with a strong sense of social responsibility and a commitment to upholding human dignity and democratic values.

The school provides comprehensive support for students' academic and personal endeavors through its Personalized Education of POVEDA (PEP) framework. This approach includes mentoring and guidance, with specialized offices such as the Guidance and Testing Center and the Student Well-Being Office dedicated to student formation and safety.

The school accepts applications for Preschool through Grade 11, as well as its RISE Homeschooling Program. Preschool levels (Pre-kindergarten to Kinder 2) are co-educational, while the regular academic program for Grades 1 to 12 is exclusively for girls. The admissions process involves the submission of requirements, assessment, and, for certain levels, interviews with the Vice Principal.

The school year typically begins in June. The academic calendar includes various institutional events, student activities, and seasonal observances throughout the year.

The campus in Ortigas Center features a range of facilities to support holistic development, including a chapel, gym/auditorium, and a canteen building. Academic and administrative spaces include the Main POVEDA Building, the POVEDA Building Annex, the Josefa Segovia Building, the Victoria Diaz Building, and the Kinetics Center Pavilion.

Students participate in a variety of after-school activities designed to develop talents, build teamwork, and spark passion. Notable examples include the school's football varsity teams, which compete in tournaments such as the RIFA Girls Football Festival, and student leadership initiatives like the Student Council of Poveda (SCOP).
