Objectives

In keeping with the traditions of the Society of Jesus which runs this Institution and in keeping with the spirit and the needs of the times in which we live, the College aims at the integral formation of its students helping them to become citizens of the country.

At St Joseph's, there is a commitment to the time- tested concept of what it means to be truly educated for an abundant life. There is a firm belief that moral and ethical values are more important than material wealth. This translates into

  • Striving for excellence in learning, creative and practical thinking and co-operative leadership in management
  • Genuine ethical values which are not just personalized but internalized
  • A practical awareness of the prevailing social and economic conditions in our country and a commitment toward the development of people

Being a "Josephite" is not just an idea - it is a way of life. It is a life that is inclusive rather than exclusive. The Jesuits lay emphasis on all round development of the students rather than confining their learning to the prescribed syllabus.
