What We Are?

St. Joseph's Indian Primary School, opened in 1904 is conducted by the Fathers of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits), a religious order of the Catholic Church, founded by St. Ignatius of Loyola in 1540.

The Jesuits are active in the field of education throughout the world. In India, they run many schools and colleges. These institutions are part of the Catholic Church's effort to impart education to the people of India.We are filled with admiration and gratitude for those stalwarts of a byegone age: the Fathers of the Paris Foreign Mission.

Imbued with vision and foresight, iron will and steely determination, unflagging zeal and dauntless courage, they planted a seed in the "Garden" on St. John's Hill, nurtured it through the years, and, when the time was ripe, transplanted it to an imposing building, which is now St. Joseph's College, PUC Section.

Under the stewardship of successive Rectors and Principals, the School has seen growth.
