History

The present college of San Juan de Dios Educational Foundation, Inc. (SJDEFI) was founded on the ideals of nursing and health care, which were pioneered in the Philippines by the Order of Friars Minor in 1578. The missionary nursing-like activities were continued by the Daughters of Charity when administration of the Hospital de San Juan de Dios was passed on to them in 1868.

In 1913, Hospital de San Juan de Dios opened the first nursing school in the country because of the need to open a school of nursing that will scientifically train students in technical nursing service. With the opening of the Bachelor of Science in Medical Technology course in 1965, a Liberal Arts course was also opened in the same year. This laid the foundation for the conversion of the school into a College in 1973. 60 years after, it was converted into San Juan de Dios College. The course Medical Technology was also added to the list of program offerings.

On December 12, 1953, the Hospital and College were relocated to Dewey Boulevard (now Roxas Boulevard) after the original hospital was converted into Lyceum of the Philippines University in Intramuros.

On April 17, 1991, the San Juan de Dios Hospital and College became an educational foundation. It was also during this period when the college began a new baccalaureate course, Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy.

The College of Nursing applied for and received its Level 1 accreditation from the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges and Universities (PAASCU) in 2003.

In 2016, San Juan de Dios College opened its Senior High School (Grades 11 and 12) program with strands Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM), General Academic Strand (GAS), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) and Technological and Vocational Livelihood (TVL).

In 2019, San Juan de Dios College introduced 2 new business courses, Bachelor of Science in Entrepreneurship and Bachelor of Science in Office Administration. On the same year, the General Academic Strand (GAS) was discontinued permanently due to huge number of classrooms.

In May 2020, San Juan de Dios College temporarily discontinued their entrance examinations due to the COVID-19 pandemic. However, they resumed on April 13, 2024.
