St. Joseph’s Institution International

Students have access to the International Primary Curriculum (IPC), International Middle Years Curriculum (IMYC), IGCSE and the IB Diploma Programme. Teachers make use of a child-centred and active learning approach to encourage the development of each student. Highly experienced and nurturing teachers create an environment where children feel safe, inspired and supported. Students are empowered to become resilient and critical thinkers, to develop their own curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, as well as to recognise excellence and how to achieve it.

In 2024, the Elementary School will launch the Bilingual Programme to enable students to become equally proficient in two languages, English and Chinese. It is designed for both native and non-native speakers and follows a ten-day teaching cycle dividing the language of instruction by subject area as well as by time. Alternating language instruction ensures equal commitment to both English and Chinese.

Another fundamental part of an SJI International education is learning through ‘Service’. All students are given opportunities to support a range of charities and organisations, going beyond their self-interests and serving the needs of others. These activities promote an appreciation of the world, develop skills and understanding that are driven by experience, and create significant opportunities for personal development.
