St. Joseph Higher Secondary School (listenⓘ) (Bengali: সেন্ট যোসেফ উচ্চ মাধ্যমিক বিদ্যালয়), also known as SJC, is an American Catholic higher secondary school in Asad Gate, Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh, regarded by some as one of the greatest colleges in Bangladesh.[1][2][3] In 2023, St. Joseph was awarded the 'A+' grade by Bangladesh Government.[4][5] It is a mono-ed (boys') school offering education from Third grade to Twelfth, with pupils averaging 8 to 18 years of age. The school is a single-shift (morning) school with over two thousand students.[6] In 1965, the college relocated to historical Asad Gate near Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban under the jurisdiction of the Mohammadpur Thana, and was dedicated to St. Joseph, the father of Jesus Christ, being named St. Joseph Higher Secondary School.[7]

After the independence of Bangladesh, it was changed from English to National Curriculum-based Bengali medium. At present, English and Bengali are used for teaching up to the higher secondary level.[8] As the name St. Joseph Higher Secondary School suggests, education provided by the school is at the higher secondary level. Every year, about 650-700 students graduate from its Higher Secondary section and 170-180 students from the secondary school section. The students of this institution are known as "Josephite".[9]

Since the 1970s, St. Joseph gained reputation of the best institution for higher secondary education in the country.[6] The highest number of perfect GPA holders in national examination (H.S.C.) and the exceptional success of its students in university admission tests bear testimony to this.[10]

The school has its own playground, basketball court, volleyball court, badminton court and table tennis court.[9]

History

Early history

North building of St. Joseph College in 1964

On March 19, 1954, Brother Jude Costello, an American Missionary member of Congregation of Holy Cross working under the Catholic Archdiocese of Dhaka, founded the school as the "St. Joseph English Medium School" at Monir Hossain Lane, Narinda, in the current old part of Dhaka. The institution had a General Certificate of Education (GCE) based education structure.[11] Classes were taught in the parlor for the first year. The following year, a single story building was constructed by Brother Andrew at Shah Shaheb Lane in Narinda. In 1960, a second roof was added, as the enrolment of the school rose to 269.[12]

In 1963, nine years after opening, the school was sufficiently developed to enable two major accomplishments to take place. In October 1964, to accommodate increasing enrollment, Brother Fulgence, Superior of the Brothers, began work on a new school complex in Mohammadpur. In November of that same year, the first class of boys from St. Joseph sat for the Cambridge Examinations.[12]

In July 1965, all the classes shifted from Narinda to the Mohammadpur compoyears.[6]The new school was very modern and unfinished, leaving students in early years to deal with active construction in their environment.[13]

Liberation War and ensuing history

St. Joseph during the Liberation War of Bangladesh in 1971

Following the War of Independence, Principal Br. Ralph Baird departed from his teaching role, engaging actively in the nation's reconstruction efforts. He contributed significantly to the country's relief, and rehabilitation, and championed human rights initiatives through non-governmental development organizations. Concurrently, students from St. Joseph College, accompanied by teachers, ventured to remote regions in support of relief and rehabilitation endeavours on behalf of the institution.[14]

After the liberation and independence of Bangladesh, the school grew and developed with the new country. The medium of instruction changed to Bangla, and the school registered with the Dhaka education board. In 1973, the last of the Cambridge groups took their examinations.[15] During the ten years of Cambridge, 233 boys took the overseas examination and 98% passed with over 60% in the first division.[16] In 1974, the first batch of boys took the SSC Examination; 32 of the 33 boys passed and one of them placed first in the combined merit list.[4][3]

Current status

The institution celebrated its Golden Jubilee at the campus in 2004, and on 19 March 2024, it celebrated its 70th anniversary of establishment.[17] In the later 21st century, St. Joseph has continued to expand in student body and faculty size, and has seen the establishment of several research centers and programs.[18][15]

Religious affiliation and ethos

Saint Joseph, after whom the college is named

The college is Roman Catholic and the Congregation of Holy Cross exercises responsibility over it through a Governing Body whose chairman is the Archbishop of the Society. The institution is named after Saint Joseph, a christian saint and the legal father of Jesus. The college seeks to give an all-round formation, inculcating both human and spiritual values. It gives special consideration to Roman Catholics and also Buddhists and Ethnic minority (under the minority rights enshrined in the Constitution of Bangladesh) for whose education the college was founded.[19]

Providing both primary and secondary education levels, since 2001 this institution has also offered higher secondary education. The secondary level has both science and commerce curriculum. The higher secondary level includes humanities too. All levels have both Bengali and English language versions, with each class having two Bengali and one English version sections. Since 2017, it has rebooted the English medium section of the school named St. Joseph International School following the Cambridge Curriculum.[8]

Admission

The school section admission goes through three levels: an interview, a written test and a final selection. Admission into class 3 is held officially, with around 2500-6000 students competing for only 180 seats. Other classes (4-9) may offer admissions if vacant seats are available.[9]

The college section usually selects only 600-700 students out of approximately 12000 applicants.[20]

Curriculum

The school follows the National Curriculum of studies. Upon establishment, it was an English Medium Cambridge school. Following the independence of Bangladesh in 1971, the school adapted alongside the national curriculum. In 2004, it introduced the English version first in grade 6, gradually adding one English version section to each grade.[6]

The school was initially named "St. Joseph High School". In 2001, Higher Secondary Education (equivalent to college) was introduced in Saint Joseph, and the name of the institution was changed to "Saint Joseph Higher Secondary School".[21]

The average graduating class from Saint Joseph each year has 160 to 180 students. The secondary level offers S.S.C (equivalent to O level) examinations and the higher secondary level offers H.S.C (equivalent to A level) examinations. The institution is recognized by the Board of Intermediate and Higher Secondary Educations.[16]

Grades and classes

St. Joseph uses names for its sections of grades, rather than numbers or letters. There are three sections for grades 3–10, and there are six sections for grades 11–12. In the school section, each class contains 50-60 students.[22]
