History<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

St. Joseph’s School, Darjeeling was founded by Fr. Henri Depelchin in February, 1888, at Sunnybank, Darjeeling<\/a> with 25 students enrolled. It was moved to its present location in 1892. Since then, the school has educated thousands of young men within the walls of its Quadrangle<\/em> which include kings, diplomats, princes, ministers, scientists, writers, actors, industrialists and influencers.\u00a0<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Academics<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n

Following the CISCE<\/a> curriculum, the aim of the founder is to help students discover the real meaning of education which is to become an agent of change. The students are groomed in a manner that they respect all cultures, languages and religions and above all recognise the unique image and likeness of the Creator in every individual.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
