College of the Holy Spirit

About

College of the Holy Spirit Manila, a private Catholic institution, was historically renowned for its strong programs in Education, Business Administration, and Liberal Arts, particularly as a prominent all-girls school. Founded by the Missionary Sisters Servants of the Holy Spirit, it emphasized holistic development and community service. However, the university announced its permanent closure in 2021, ceasing to accept new students.
