Centro Escolar University (: CEU) (Filipino: Pamantasang Centro Escolar) is a private university in Manila, Philippines. It was founded on June 3, 1907 by two women, Librada Avelino and Carmen de Luna, and was originally called Centro Escolar de Señoritas. It became a university in 1933. Originally, its Parañaque campus was part of the university's system until it was phased out in the early 1990s. CEU Cebu will be the first CEU campus outside Luzon. The university is also planning to establish 2 more campuses: CEU Baguio and CEU Davao.
Centro Escolar University was awarded Full Autonomy Status by CHED, granted Institutional Accreditation as certified by FAAP, Proficiency in Quality Management and ISO:9001 certification.
The original academic program of the university, the Integrated School's elementary and high school programs opened in 1907. The programs were closed in its Mendiola Campus in the mid-1990s and formally phased out in 2004 in its Malolos campus. The last batch of its elementary and high school students were from its Malolos Campus in 2004 and 2001, respectively. The university will once again offer the Integrated School in its Malolos Campus starting the school year 2014-2015.
On its first year of re-operation the University Integrated School will offer Nursery, Pre-Kindergarten, Kindergarten, Grade 1 and 7. While on the following year, the school opened its Grade 11 and 12 in compliance of the k-12 system.
The School of Accountancy and Management is the third largest college in terms of student population in the university system.
SAM, originally known as the College of Commerce and Business, then later as the College of Commerce and Secretarial Administration (COMSEC), College of Accountancy, Commerce and Secretarial Administration (ACS) and recently, the School of Accountancy, Business, Secretarial and Public Administration (ABSP), started as a two-year secondary commercial course for girls. In 1928, a four- year college course was offered under the College of Liberal Arts, leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Commerce, as well as a two-year Associate in Commercial Science course and a one-year secretarial course.
