Saint Theresa's College, Quezon CitySaint Theresa's College, Quezon City is a Registered Property, Quezon City located at Quezon City, Metro Manila, National Capital Region.
When World War II wrought havoc on St. Theresa’s College of San Marcelino, Manila, leaving it in ruins, there was little hope left for the rebuilding of its physical plant. Steps were taken to look for a new site, a property that would be larger than the San Marcelino compound. In January, 1946, a contract was signed for the purchase of a property consisting of five (5) blocks in Sta.Mesa Heights, Quezon City. The United States Army, which previously occupied the place, left a rudimentary make-shift building, later to be used temporarily for the classrooms of St. Theresa’s College, Quezon City and for the quarters of the Sisters. January 7, 1947 marked the establishment of St. Theresa’s College, Quezon City. However, the school was officially opened only in June, 1947. The institution, from the first days of its foundation, has consistently stressed at all levels of instruction the wholistic formation of the Theresian into a committed Christian, upholding the highest standards of excellence, leadership, character, and nationhood.
