The Mount Carmel College of Baler (Filipino: Kolehiyong Monte Carmelo ng Baler), commonly referred to as MCC Baler or MCCB, is the oldest Catholic mission school in the Philippine province of Aurora.[1] It was founded in 1948 by the American Carmelites, who arrived in Baler upon the invitation of Doña Aurora Aragon-Quezon (1888–1949), former First Lady of the Philippines (1935–1944), wife of the late Philippine Commonwealth President Manuel Luis Quezon, and upon the approval of Alfredo F. Versoza, then bishop of Lipa. It is currently a member of the Catholic Association of Schools in the Prelature of Infanta (CASPI).
