Established in 2007, St. Joseph's Institution International offers a holistic, values-driven and international educational experience to a diverse student body of over 40 nationalities rooted in the context of Singapore.
As a school with a Lasallian Catholic foundation, our community welcomes students, teachers, parents, friends and supporters of all faiths and cultural backgrounds. We celebrate a community of over 2,000 students across two schools on one campus.
The Elementary School caters to expatriate children from early years Prep 1 - 2 and Grade 1 - 6 (ages 4 - 12), while the High School caters to both Singaporean and international students in Grades 7 - 12 (ages 12 - 18).
As a Lasallian Catholic School, we believe that character education lies at the heart of what we do. On the facade of our main High School building, you will read 'Enter to Learn, Leave to Serve'. That motto describes very clearly the mission of our school: 'Enabling students to learn how to learn and to learn how to live as Lasallian people for others'.
Our core values of Faith, Service, Community, Excellence and Respect are demonstrated daily by all members of the community, be it within the classrooms, playgrounds, theatre, music rooms or sporting facilities.
The IB Diploma Programme
The attributes of the IB Learner profile underpin much of the teaching and learning throughout SJI International with a desire to develop curious, independent and confident learners. The most important principle within the school’s educational philosophy is that of active learning. Crucially, active learning is about students doing. This involves a wide range of activities within the programme which will vary according to the subject: research, role plays, simulations, thinking exercises, decision-making exercises, debates, presentations and so on. These provide a stimulating educational environment and one that is intellectually challenging for the students.
Values, education and character-building are achieved through a range of challenging activities in sports, adventure and creativity, with a special emphasis on service, featuring weekly service activities and overseas projects that help students connect with and serve the local and global community.
We are justifiably proud of the outstanding achievements of our IB Diploma students. Many of our graduates have continued their studies at many of the top universities around the world. However, outstanding academic results are only part of what we strive for. Our students leave SJI International ready for lifelong learning.
