Our Story

For over nine decades, St. Paul University Quezon City (SPUQC) has been a beacon of Catholic education under the guidance of the Sisters of St. Paul of Chartres. Established in 1946 following the reconstruction of its wartime campus, the University has grown from a small post-war grade school into a distinguished institution offering Basic Education, College, Graduate Studies, and continuing education programs. Throughout its journey, SPUQC has remained steadfast in its mission of forming competent, compassionate, and Christ-centered leaders.

Today, SPUQC occupies a vibrant campus in the heart of Quezon City and continues to evolve through academic innovation, expanded educational opportunities, and nationally recognized accreditations.
