St. Spica's Girls' Institute has the white colored buildings and uniforms, and was built after Miator. The school prizes itself in advancing the independence of women who play a role in improving society. It is well known for its culture and the accomplishments of its sports program compared to the other two schools. Spica has what is known as the St. Spica Choir, or the "Saintly Chorus", which consists of students from Spica who perform at special events and even concerts for students at Astraea Hill. Spica and Miator compete with each other quite aggressively, which often ends in dispute when students from these two schools get together.
St. Spica, originally named Institute for Modern Women was founded by early feminist Hoshi Spica in 1935, she wished to encourage girls to step away from their submissive roles and allow women to better esablish themselves in society. Born in 1907, she began attending school at St. Miator at age 12 and was a member of Miator's first graduating class. Hoshi believed that the ways of women were outdated, that Miator's version of the role women were meant to have both in the church and in every day dealings was no longer as necessary as it once had been. At age 28, she founded the institute in the hopes that one day women would no longer be secondary citizens. Her courage against the times also saved several students during a bomb raid during World War II. She died in 1944 while ushering students into a nearby bomb shelter. Because of her sacrifice, she was rechristened as a Saint nearly twenty years later along with the school.
