Mission

Explanation of the Seal

School Philosophy

We believe that an individual can become a Christian who can integrate one’s religious, cultural and professional knowledge in life and be a self-directed Filipino who is committed to building the community where he lives, thus, promoting the growth of Christ’s love that makes the individual deeply humane to attain the ultimate goal - God.

Institutional Objectives

• To develop in every student the knowledge, skills, interests, habits, powers, and ideals requisite to the realization of his full potential as a worthy member of the School, the Home, the Society, the Church, and the World as a whole;

• To develop personal discipline enlightened by a well-trained intellect in order to form a Christian personality by the acquisition of all the Christian virtues;

• To develop in the individual a prayerful search for the truth that will certainly lead to the realm of love and ultimately to the highest love – GOD

• To train the individual to become an upright and patriotic Filipino citizen in a democratic society who can freely contribute to the total well-being of the nation

Hence, it is the purpose of this school to develop each student as an individual and as an effective member of society – physically, emotionally, intellectually, economically, socially, and spiritually.

We are thy loyal children

St. Joseph College dear

All praise to thee Oh Alma Mater

Hear our voices clear

Thy name is gold within our hearts

We carry day by day

Shall stay unstained forever dear

’till we all turn to clay.

All the bells’ ringing tell

Music from our heart’s core

All praise to thee honor and glory be

This is the song we sing so free!
