The Colegio de San Juan de Letran Calamba (CSJL Calamba; Filipino: Dalubhasaan ng San Juan de Letran Calamba), or simply Letran Calamba, is a private Catholic coeducational basic and higher education institution owned and run by the friars of the Order of Preachers in Calamba City, Laguna, Philippines.
Letran Calamba was given autonomous status by the Commission on Higher Education.[1] Several of its program are accredited by Philippine Association of Colleges and Universities Commission on Accreditation (PACUCOA).[2]
The Dominican Province of the Philippines, in an effort to decentralized its schools in Manila, planned to establish an extension school in the province. An 11-hectare tract of land along the foothills of Mt. Makiling in Bucal, Calamba City, Laguna, was chosen as the site.[3]
Letran Calamba was founded on March 11, 1979. It started as an extension campus by Letran Manila under the supervision of Rev. Fr. Regino Cortez, OP, the rector and president of the Intramuros campus at that time.[4]
On August 7, 1986, Letran Calamba finally gained its autonomy from Letran Manila with the installation of Rev. Fr. Tamerlane Lana, OP, as its first president and rector.[3]
On April 28, 2025, Rev. Fr. Roman Santos, OP has been selected as the 11th rector and president of Letran Calamba.[5]
