St Joseph's Boys High School, Bangalore, prepares students for the ICSE (10th) and ISC (11th) examinations conducted by the CISCE New Delhi.
The School was founded in 1858 and is now managed by the Fathers of the Society of Jesus, popularly known as the Jesuits. The managements of the School is vested in the Bangalore Jesuit Educational Society. The President of the Governing Body is Rev Fr Provincial of the Karnataka Jesuit Province.
The School is intended primarily for the education of Catholic boys, particularly of the Anglo-Indian Community. However, with due regard to the strength of each class and the academic ability of the pupil, boys of all religious persuasions are admitted, without any interference with their respective creeds. No donations are accepted for admission.
The Jesuit vision of education goes far beyond the achievement of academic excellence. It includes a radical change of heart in the person of the educated and the educator himself, turning them from selfish concerns to unreserved generosity to God and their fellowmen. For the Christian, this would imply a personal commitment to Jesus Christ in whom he will find the source and inspiration of this generosity. Our education is therefore aimed at this inner liberaton of spirit which renders a preson available for even greater service, makes him truly free, mature and capable of assuming whatever responsibility he is called to. Only such an education can create fully committed men who can face the challenges of our time.
