Mission Statement:

Enabling Students to Learn How to Learn and to Learn How to Live as Lasallian People for Others

School History:

SJI International High School opened its doors in 2007 and was followed in 2008 by SJI International Elementary School. Together they are part of a group of seven Lasallian schools in Singapore with a history dating back to 1852.

The realisation of the vision of SJI International was a labour of love for a team of SJI Alumni. They, having benefitted so profoundly from their education at Saint Joseph's Institution (SJI), one of Singapore's oldest and most respected schools, sought a way to offer Singaporean and expatriate children a similar life-changing experience.

Visa Requirement:

Elementary School: Children must be residing in Singapore with at least one parent who owns an appropriate immigration pass. A child must hold a Dependant's Pass, a Diplomatic Passport, Singapore Permanent Resident Pass* or a Student Pass.

High School: Singapore Citizens, Singapore Permanent Residents, and international students may apply for admission to the High School.

Travel/Living Accommodations: Boarding is available from Grade 9 onwards. SJI International has appointed St Andrew’s Hall, a co-educational residence housing up to 600 students under the management of St Andrew’s Junior College, as our official Boarding House.

Notes/School Information:

St. Joseph's Institution International (SJI International) is a non-profit co-educational school proud of its Lasallian Catholic foundation. The school offers a holistic, values-driven and international educational experience to a diverse student body of over 40 nationalities rooted in the context of Singapore. Celebrating a community of over 2,000 students across two schools on one campus, SJI International welcomes students, teachers, parents, friends and supporters of all faiths and cultural backgrounds.

Founded in 2007, SJI International is one of just three schools in Singapore with a licence to educate both Singaporean and international students together. Drawing upon the best practices of leading international schools, alongside the ethos of their global network of Lasallian schools, the school has gained an outstanding reputation for quality education and trust.

SJI International is also renowned for its commitment to character education which lies at the heart of the school. Core values of Faith, Service, Community, Excellence and Respect are demonstrated daily by the whole school community, be it within the classrooms, playgrounds, theatre, music rooms or sporting facilities.

Highly experienced and nurturing teachers create an environment where children feel safe, inspired and supported. Students are empowered to become resilient and critical thinkers, to develop their own curiosity and enthusiasm for learning, as well as to recognise excellence and how to achieve it.

Another fundamental part of an SJI International education is learning through 'Service'. All students are given opportunities to support a range of charities and organisations, going beyond their self-interests and serving the needs of others. These activities promote an appreciation of the world, develop skills and understanding that are driven by experience, and create significant opportunities for personal development.
