Miriam College is a non-stock, non-profit Filipino Catholic educational institution for girls and young women in Quezon City, Philippines. It offers academic programs from pre-elementary to post-graduate and adult education levels that develop the learning and caring competencies of students and are enriched by a wide range of national, regional, and international linkages. Primarily a women’s school, its pre-elementary, adult education, graduate, and deaf education programs accept male students. The story of Miriam College dates back to 1926 when the Archbishop of Manila requested the Sisters of the Maryknoll Congregation in New York to initiate a teacher-training program for women in the Philippines. In an old remodeled Augustinian Convent in Malabon, Rizal, the Malabon Normal School was established. The school moved several times until finally, in 1952, with its name officially changed to Maryknoll College, it laid down permanent roots in Diliman (or Loyola Heights), Quezon City. A long period of stability and growth followed. Maryknoll College expanded its programs from training teachers to the formation of women leaders, thus a liberal arts college was developed.
