The Assumption College is a private, Roman Catholic women's college in Makati City, Philippines established in 1959. It provides education from pre-school, elementary, secondary, tertiary, to graduate level. Sister (later Saint) Marie Eugenie Milleret de Brou (1817-1898) established the Congregation of the Religious of the Assumption as a means to make a Christian transformation of society through education. She founded the Congregation of the Religious of the Assumption in Paris on 30 April 1839. The Religious of the Assumption first came to the Philippines in 1892. At the request of Queen María Cristina of Spain, they established the Superior Normal School for Women Teachers in Intramuros in 1892 which pioneered women education in the Philippines. Among its first alumnae were Rosa Sevilla de Alvero, Foundress of the Instituto de Mujeres; Librada Avelino and Carmen de Luna, who founded Centro Escolar University. At the outbreak of the Revolution of 1898 the operation of the school was stopped and the Sisters returned to Europe. At the request of Pope Pius X, a group of English-speaking Assumption Sisters returned to Manila in 1904.
