Our College Mission Statement calls us to provide a liberating education that is inspired by Christian principles that permeate all aspects of College life. In this way we provide every avenue for our young women and men to be respectful of the truth, open to reality, community orientated, and willing to strive to grow as individuals making the most of their unique gifts.

We are immensely proud of the opportunities that are afforded to students here at St Joseph’s College.

Benefits of Co-Education

At St Joseph’s, we believe coeducation is the best way to prepare young men and women for the world in which they will live. Coeducation has been part of our learning environment since 1983 when the first girls started at St Joseph’s College.
