North building of St. Joseph

St. Joseph Higher Secondary School (listenⓘ) (Bengali: সেন্ট যোসেফ উচ্চ মাধ্যমিক বিদ্যালয়), also known as SJC, is a Catholic higher secondary school in Asad Gate, Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh, regarded as one of the best colleges in Bangladesh.[1] In 2023, St. Joseph was awarded the 'A+' grade.[2][3] It is a school offering education from third to twelfth grade, with pupils averaging 8 to 18 years of age. The school is a single-shift (morning) school with over 2,500 students.[4] In 1965, the college relocated to historical Asad Gate near Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban under the jurisdiction of the Mohammadpur Thana, and being named St. Joseph Higher Secondary School.[5]

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 500-600 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".[6] St. Joseph has been consistently ranked among the best academic institutions in Bangladesh.

The school has its own playground, basketball court, volleyball court, badminton court and table tennis court.[6]

History

[edit]

Early history

[edit]
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, who was also headmaster of St. Gregory's High School then, 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.[6] Classes were taught in the parlour 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.[citation needed]

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 enrolment, 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.[citation needed]

In July 1965, all the classes shifted from Narinda to the Mohammadpur compoyears.[4] The new school was very modern and unfinished, leaving students in early years to deal with active construction in their environment.[7]

Liberation War and ensuing history

[edit]
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.[8]

Construction of St Joseph Higher Secondary School in 1984

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.[9] During the ten years of Cambridge, 233 boys took the overseas examination and 98% passed with over 60% in the first division.[10] 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.[2][11]

Current status

[edit]
Garden of St. Joseph College

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".[12]

The institution celebrated its Golden Jubilee at the campus in 2004, and on 19 March 2024, it celebrated its 70th anniversary of establishment.[13] 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.[14][9]

Religious affiliation and ethos

[edit]
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 Archdiocese of Dhaka, His Grace Most Rev. Msgr Bejoy N. D. Cruze, OMI. 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.[15]

Academic identification

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.[16]

Admission

[edit]

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.[6]

The college section usually selects only 600-700 students out of approximately 12000 applicants.[17]

Curriculum

[edit]

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.[4]

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.[10]

Grades and classes

[edit]

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.[18]

Uniform

The Scintilla Science Club

[edit]

Following the footsteps of the founder Headmaster of St. Joseph Higher Secondary School, Bro. Jude Costello, C.S.C Scintilla Science Club was established in 1957 by Bro. Gerald Kraeger C.S.C (Headmaster, 1963-1967). Since then Science Fair has been organized by St. Joseph higher Secondary School under the supervision of a teacher and active guidance of the Headmaster. Bro. William Sheehan C.S.C took care of the club and day by day it developed. When Bro. Thomas More C.S.C. was the Headmaster, Mr. Moinuddin Ahmed was organizing the fair under the supervision of the Headmaster. Bro. Ralph Baird played a vital role towards the vast improvement of the club. Bro. Robert Hughes felt the necessity to prepare a constitution to run the club properly by the teachers and the students. The name “Scintilla Science Club” was given by him. During his time Mr. A. Sattar helped him in all possible ways to diversify the activities of the club. At that time inter-class quiz and art competition were introduced into the Science Fair. Since then the science fair took a festive mood and all the teachers were affiliated with it. After the sudden demise of Mr. A. Sattar former Principal Rev. Bro. John Rozario C.S.C bestowed the responsibility of Chief Moderator on Mr. Suvankar Datta. Inspired by the Principal, under his supervision the souvenir of Scintilla Science Club was published in 1998 for the first time. Now this club has promoted its activities to quite a large extent. The club now organizes inter school and inter college Mathematics, Physics, Chemistry, Biology Olympiad, inter school and inter college set speech, inter school and college general knowledge quiz, intra school general knowledge quiz, project presentation, art fair, etc. during the annual science festival. Scintilla Science club is the first high school level science club in Bangladesh. It is the pioneer of high school level science community curriculum.[35][36]

The Josephite Cultural Forum

The Josephite Cultural Forum (JCF) regularly arranges different cultural programs to bring out the talents in the students. It arranges creative events to train up the young minds to enlighten their hearts and minds about Bangladeshi Culture and how to be a global citizen in the form of a complete man.[37]

The Josephite Reading and Language Club

[edit]

Josephite Language and Reading Club, commonly known as JLRC, is one of the most renowned clubs in the sector of efficient language learning and the upliftment of linguistic skills among the students all around the country. Founded on January 7, 2004, this club has been proving its excellence in this sector over the years. The club organises and participates in programs and activities to grow awareness and engrossment amongst the students towards reading books, learning, and applying language properly and precisely. JLRC aims towards improving the students' language learning and reading habits by arranging different courses, sessions, and an annual festival where the students can learn through their direct participation in different events in a gleeful manner. JLRC has a number of goals for language learning and enhancement of students' reading habits. The students are encouraged to learn both Bengali and English properly, and to practice them in their daily lives. We believe that language learning can be made both fun and congenial.[38][39][40]

The Josephite Math Club

[edit]

The Josephite Math Club helps the students take part in Math Olympiads and other similar events. In October 2015, the idea of creating a Math Circle for specialized Olympiad training was first proposed under the guidance of renowned Josephite alumnus Sowmitra Das (Honourable Mention, Asia Pacific Mathematics Olympiad). Sadid Bin Hasan and Tanjeem Ajwad Zaman initiated the plan to form the circle. Throughout November and December, official classes were conducted on Combinatorics and Number Theory for students of Class 11. Among the trainers were Meem Arafat Maanab, Pritom Kumar, and Dipta Akash Roy—members of the Academic Team of the Bangladesh Mathematical Olympiad. The initiative received an enthusiastic response from students both within and beyond the institution. The Josephite Math Club also helps co-host the Bangladesh National Math Olympiad.[41][42]

Rudro Mohammad Shahidullah is by far the best among the poets of the seventies; his Manusher Manchitra is comparatively free from the tension and anger of the time. In this series of poems modelled upon A1 Mahmud's Sonal Kabin, Rudra tried to deal with the perennial struggle of the Bangalee peasant community against natural calamities and economic exploitations. But his poetic potential remained unrealized as he met on untimely death.
