ABOUT SJI INTERNATIONAL

St. Joseph’s Institution International is a nonprofit co-educational school with a Lasallian Catholic foundation. It offers a holistic, values-driven and international educational experience to a diverse student body of over 40 nationalities rooted in the context of Singapore. Our community welcomes students, teachers, parents, friends and supporters of all faiths and cultural backgrounds.

SJI International was established in 2007. A labour of love from a team of alumnus of St. Joseph’s Institution (SJI) - one of Singapore’s oldest and most respected schools. SJI has been notable over the years for its capacity to develop leaders of Singapore society, including members of the current government, business, academia, church and community. Having benefited so profoundly from their own education at SJI, the ‘Old Boys’ sought a way to offer Singaporean and expatriate children a similar life-changing experience.

SJI International is overseen by a Board of Governors, comprising SJI alumni and the school’s Patron is fellow Josephian Dr Tony Tan, former President of the Republic of Singapore.

Today, SJI International high school is one of just three schools in Singapore with a licence to educate both Singaporean and international students; and holds an outstanding reputation for quality education.

Drawing upon the best practices of leading international schools in the world, as well as the ethos of the global network of Lasallian schools, the high school offers an academically rigorous programme while developing our students to become thinking and caring global citizens, who are at the same time securely rooted in their community, share common values and have a genuine spiritual awareness.

As a Lasallian Catholic School, we believe that character education lies at the heart of what we do. It is our mission to help the children become people of integrity and people who care for others and the world in which we live.

The 2022 cohort of 198 students scored an average of 39 points; significantly above the world average of 30.91. Past SJI International graduates have included recipients of numerous scholarships including the prestigious PSC (Public Service Commission) overseas merit scholarships, many have secured admission into top international universities such as Harvard University, Stanford University, MIT and Yale University in the USA, as well as Cambridge University and Oxford University in the UK. Graduates who decided to continue their studies locally have included successful enrolments to some of the most competitive courses in Singapore including Dentistry, Law and Medicine at the National University of Singapore (NUS).

By The Numbers

As a Lasallian school, SJI International strives to bring education to all, especially the last, the lost and the least. The SJI International Scholarship Programme was originally set up to attract outstanding students, regardless of background, and it has played an important role in allowing SJI International to become a school that is widely recognised for its outstanding academic results within a very holistic programme.
