Centro Escolar Las Piñas (CELP; formerly known as Las Piñas College), is a school located in Pilar Village, Almanza Uno, Las Piñas, Metro Manila, Philippines. The school was founded in 1973, when Dr. Faustino Legaspi Uy opened a School of Nursing under the Graduate of Nursing (GN) Program at the Las Piñas General Hospital – that eventually became Dr. Faustino L. Uy Medical Foundation – as the clinical division. Initially created to provide a nursing program, over the years the school has expanded to provide kindergarten, primary and secondary schooling, along with several bachelors programs and a masters program. It was acquired by Centro Escolar University in 2015 and now serves as a satellite campus of the university.
