About Us

SCHOOL PROFILE: Located South of Chennai, Vettuvankeni, just a few miles of downtown Thiruvanmiyur, St. Joseph’s Nursery and Primary School started in the June of 1978 to serve the students residing nearby and the underprivileged. In 1981, St Joseph’s School became a School authorised to offer the Nursery and Primary Programme to eligible juniors. As St. Joseph’s, our school colours are Blue and Red with an accent of Yellow. Our motto is Arise and Shine. At St. Joseph’s school, we believe that education creates opportunity.

As a learning community, we seek to inspire intellectual curiosity and stimulate personal creativity by setting high expectations and developing engaging environments to promote the culture of continuous learning where hard work is a contributor to success. We respect the diverse perspectives, beliefs, and background of others and strive to build a foundation of self- governing integrity that recognises each of our unique contributions to our local and global community.
