The story of Miriam College dates back to 1926 when the Archbishop of Manila, then Reverend Michael O’ Doherty, 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 transferred sites several times until finally in 1952, with its name officially changed to Maryknoll College, it laid down its permanent roots in Diliman (or Loyola Heights), Quezon City.

Miriam is the Aramaic name with which Mary, our Blessed Mother and the school’s patron, was called in her lifetime. “Miriam” is also a fitting reminder and tribute to Sr. Miriam Thomas Thornton, M.M., who devoted 50 years of service to Maryknoll College.
