The COLEGIO DE SANTA ISABEL was founded on October 24, 1632 with the primary purpose of educating Spanish orphans and daughters of the Spanish soldiers in the service of the King. But in the later years, its doors were opened to Filipino girls as well. In 1733, by a royal decree of Queen Isabela II, the name of the college was changed to "Real Colegio de Santa Isabel".
