Academic Excellence:

The College places high value on academic excellence. The courses are rigorous and need daily application. Presentations and participation in seminars and workshops are part of academic life, since they train students in critical and scientific thinking. Students may join at least one of the many Associations of the college and thus experience intellectual growth and develop a spirit of inquiry.

Character Formation:

Character development is the essential aspect of education. Character includes behaviour, values and attitudes to life and to others. Essential to any character formation is self-discipline. The rules of discipline in the College are meant for social well-being, order and harmony.

Social Concern:

Preparing persons for the service of others is the aim of education in St Joseph's College. At the heart of the college is Social Concern. Students are expected to be sensitive to the poor and be persons of concern, compassion and conscience.
