Saint Pedro Poveda College (more commonly known as Poveda, formerly known as the Poveda Learning Centre and Institución Teresiana) is a private, Roman Catholic co-educational school 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.
