Colegio de Santa Rosa - Manila is a private Catholic school run by the Congregation of the Augustinian Recollect Sisters in Intramuros, Manila, Philippines. It was established on August 30, 1750 as the Beaterio y Casa de Segunda Enseñanza by Mother Paula de la Santissima Trinidad to educate the young Spanish - Filipino women. It was originally an All Girls school until the early 2000 when it converted to a co-ed educational institution. It acquired its present name on 1774 but was also known by several other names including Colegio de Madre Paula and Beaterio y Casa de Enseñanza.
History
In 1739, a residential structure was demolished to pave way for the construction of Colegio de Santa Rosa. Plaza de Santo Tomas served as the pocket plaza between the Colegio de Santa Rosa and the former site of the University of Santo Tomas. The long, narrow plaza was dedicated to Thomas Aquinas. The statue of Fray Miguel de Benavides along with wrought iron fence attached in the 19th century and royal palms was also located at the middle of the plaza.[1]
Paula de Santissima Trinidad, or Paula Tejedor del Atas was born in Espluga Calba, Tarragona, Catalonia, Spain on 1713. She went to Lerida to work as a criada, or maid in order to immerse herself as a social worker. From Tarragona to Manresa, she arrived in Manila on July 15, 1750 with the purpose of establishing a school for half Spanish half Filipino young women. She pleaded donations to wealthy Spaniards such as Don Pedro González Quijano and Don Francisco Javier Salgado in order to sustain her advocacy in establishing the school. Two houses, along Calle Solana, in front of the portería of the convent of Santo Domingo and another one facing the chapel of the University of Santo Tomas, were given as donations, respectively.[1]
