The Saint Pedro Poveda College (Poveda, formerly known as the Poveda Learning Centre and Institucion Teresiana) is a private, Roman Catholic school exclusively for girls run by the Teresian Association of Lay Missionaries which was founded in Spain.
It is located in the heart of Metro Manila's Ortigas Business District. The alumnae and present students of this school include daughters and granddaughters of Filipino Presidents, industrialists, politicians, businessmen and prominent figures in Philippine society.
Founded in 1960 as Institucion Teresiana, the school was inaugurated by Maria del Carmen Franco de Martinez-Bordiu, the Marquesa de Villaverde and only daughter of Generalismo Francisco Franco of Spain. It conducts classes in three languages: English, Spanish and Filipino.
Formerly Poveda Learning Centre, the heritage of Saint Pedro Poveda stems back to 1960 when Institucion Teresiana School was opened. The school first offered kindergarten and primary classes, and began offering preschool, elementary and high school education by 1969.
Pedro Poveda's philosophy and principles of education are integrated in the school's Personalized Education Program (PEP).
On December 3, 1974, during the birth centennial celebration of Saint Pedro Poveda, Institucion Teresiana changed its name to Poveda Learning Centre as a fitting tribute to him. That same year, UNESCO honored Pedro Poveda as "Humanist and Educator".
Two degree programs in the field of education and business administration are being offered, effective 2005-2006. With the expansion into tertiary education, the name of the school has been changed to Saint Pedro Poveda College.
