Institut Sankt Joseph is proud of the fact that it is a Catholic school: part of a long tradition of educational excellence stretching nearly a millinea.

Our philosophy is rooted in the following Catholic-humanistic views regarding man:

• Man is wanted and loved by God.
• Man is unique; endowed with free will, personal integrity, and absolute value.
• Man was created with a specific intention: to be human.
• Human beings are not human in virtue of themselves alone.
• Man was created to sanctification, the life to come closer to God and himself.
• Humans have the ability to reflect, discern, judge, choose and act.
• Man is competent and can be educated – and is obliged to take his life, opportunities and choices seriously.

“Grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled as to console, to be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.” -St. Francis of Assisi

It is the profound hope of our entire school community that every child brings to life the words of Saint Francis.
