St. Joseph Higher Secondary School, Dhaka

Short History

Short History: St. Joseph Higher Secondary School, 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. In 2023, St. Joseph was awarded the 'A+' grade by Bangladesh Government. 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. 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. 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. 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". The school has its own playground, basketball court, volleyball court, badminton court and table tennis court.
