Trinity University of Asia

Trinity University of Asia is a private university located in Quezon City, Philippines.

The university’s origins date back to the early 1960s, a period marked by significant social and political changes in the Philippines. Recognizing the urgent need for a Christian institution of higher learning, a dedicated group of Anglican and Episcopalian clergy and lay leaders came together with a shared vision. They sought to create a space where education would not only focus on academic excellence but also emphasize the development of moral and ethical values rooted in Christian teachings.

In 1963, this vision materialized with the establishment of the university, supported by both the Anglican and Episcopal churches. The founders were passionate about creating an educational environment that would empower students to think critically, embrace their faith, and contribute positively to society. They believed that a well-rounded education grounded in Christian principles would cultivate leaders capable of addressing societal challenges and promoting justice and compassion.

During its initial years, the university encountered numerous obstacles. Attracting students and qualified faculty was a significant challenge, particularly in a competitive educational landscape. Financial constraints also posed difficulties in developing infrastructure and resources necessary for a thriving academic community. Despite these hurdles, the unwavering commitment and perseverance of the founders and early supporters laid a strong foundation for the university’s future.

Gradually, the university began to gain traction. Word of its mission and values spread, drawing in students who resonated with its commitment to both academic and spiritual growth. The dedication of the faculty and staff, many of whom were motivated by the university's mission, played a crucial role in shaping a supportive and nurturing environment for students.

To further enrich its educational framework, the university sought partnerships with other educational institutions and organizations, both domestically and internationally. These collaborations facilitated student exchanges, joint research initiatives, and access to a broader network of resources, enhancing the university's reputation and academic standing.

Today, the university is recognized as a leading Christian institution in the Philippines. It is celebrated not only for its academic achievements but also for its unwavering commitment to instilling strong Christian values in its students. The university continues to uphold its mission of transforming lives and shaping a more just and humane society, empowering students to become effective leaders and compassionate citizens in an increasingly complex world.
