On July 4, 2022, Kalayaan College ended its operations after 22 years due to financial losses. Kalayaan College was on Manga Road cor Aurora Blvd, near the Line 2 Betty Go-Belmonte. It was established by notable academics. For example, the college's president, Dr. José Abueva, is a former president of the University of the Philippines (UP). The college followed UP's curriculum, such as the grading system for students (where 1.00 is the highest and 5.00 is the lowest or failing grade). Most of the professors were members of UP's faculty or UP graduates.
