Pasig Catholic College is a private educational institution located in Pasig City and was founded by CICM fathers in 1913. It is the cathedral school of the Diocese of Pasig and a part of the Pasig Diocesan School System and the Manila Archdiocesan Parish and School Administration. Pasig Catholic College celebrated its centennial anniversary in 2013.
History
It was founded in 1913 as a small school managed by the CICM Fathers headed by Fr. Pierre Cornelis de Brouwer[1] inside the "convento" (convent) of the Immaculate Conception Parish (now the Immaculate Conception Cathedral in Pasig City). It is considered the central Catholic educational institution of the Diocese of Pasig.
Developments
(PCC) In 1994 the old wooden college building was replaced by a concrete five-storey Administration Building. The building housed the high school and college classrooms as well as administrative offices. At the same time, a new school cafeteria was constructed in front of the high school building. The following year, a coeducational program was offered to the first two years of grade school and high school levels.
Accreditation and Recognition
The Grade School Department was granted re-accreditation for five (5) years during the PAASCU Formas Visit on 07-08 of February 2005. On the other hand, the High School Department was granted re-accreditation for five (5) years retroactive during the PAASCU visit on 05-06 of September 2005.

School rules
Considering that Pasig Catholic College is a Catholic school, it is conservative on some level. The administration imposes rules putting in mind the welfare and safety of their students. An example of this is the Keep Right policy that instructs students to stay on the right side when in the stairs, corridors, and similar places. Furthermore, the school has numerous security guards who are eager to do their job for the entire institution's security.
Like most schools in the Philippines, Pasig Catholic College requires students to wear uniforms. Girls wear skirts and blouses, while boys wear pants and white polo shirts. The uniforms may vary depending on the level the students, which are: preschool, elementary, high school, and college.
