Saint Pedro Poveda College

Saint Pedro Poveda College (more commonly known as Poveda, formerly known as the Poveda Learning Centre and Institución Teresiana) is a private, Roman Catholic exclusive school for girls in the heart of Metro Manila's Ortigas Business District, Quezon City, Philippines. It is run by the Teresian Association of Lay Missionaries, which was founded in Spain.

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 Institución Teresiana, the school was inaugurated by Maria del Carmen Franco de Martinez-Bordiu, the Marquesa de Villaverde and only daughter of Generalissimo Francisco Franco of Spain. It conducts classes in three languages: English, Spanish, and Filipino.

The school's regular program from Grade 1 to Grade 12 is exclusively for girls, while its preschool program from Pre-Kindergarten to Kinder 2 and Poveda's RISE Program (Remote Independent & Self-paced Education) with offerings from Grade 7 to Grade 10 are open to both male and female students.

Formerly Poveda Learning Centre, the heritage of Saint Pedro Poveda stems back to 1960 when Institución Teresiana 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, Institución Teresiana changed its name to Poveda Learning Centre as a fitting tribute to him. That same year, UNESCO honored Pedro Poveda as a "Humanist and Educator".

Two-degree programs in the field of education and business administration were offered, effective 2005–2006. With the expansion into tertiary education, the name of the school was changed to Saint Pedro Poveda College.
