St. Joseph’s Convent International School is a Catholic educational institution conducted by the Religious of the Congregation of the Daughters of the Cross.
The name of the Managing Body of the school is St. Joseph’s Education and Medical Relief Society. The School falls within the religious jurisdiction of the Archdiocese of Bombay.
Admission is open to girls of all castes and creeds. Value Education forms an important part of the school curriculum.
Post-independence, St. Joseph’s switched to the ICSE program and, a few years later, the school opted to offer only the State Board program. In 2016, based on the feedback from the Alumni, requests from parents, and under the guidance of the Archdiocesan Board of Education (ABE), St. Joseph’s decided to offer an international education for students.
The school is certified by Cambridge and is registered as a Cambridge International school. The school has been given a UDISE Number by the State Department of Education and approvals are in place to conduct classes from Grade 1 to 12. Currently, the school offers Cambridge Primary Grade 1 to 5 and Lower Secondary Grade 6 and 7.
Cambridge qualifications are widely recognised by universities and employers. Cambridge students can be confident that their qualifications will be understood and valued throughout their education and career, in India and internationally.

Our Motto
“Forward God Helping”
Our theme for the Academic Year 2026-2027 is The light of Knowledge and Wisdom will be your steadfast guide.
The Front Cover Page in the school calendar artwork by Eva Mathew, Grade 7, represents a journey of hope, knowledge, and guidance through a dreamlike seascape.
At the centre stands a towering lighthouse, symbolizing wisdom and the light of knowledge that guides students through every stage of life. The glowing lamp within the lighthouse symbolizes enlightenment and the power of ideas to brighten the world.
Beside the lighthouse sails a boat across calm waters, reflecting the journey of every learner. The boat signifies courage, determination, and the spirit to keep moving forward in spite of challenges. The shimmering reflections on the sea add warmth and optimism, suggesting that every path becomes brighter with faith and perseverance.
Above the ocean, the sky is an explosion of vibrant colours - orange, yellow, blue, and purple, creating a magical atmosphere of imagination and creativity. The soaring phoenix represents rebirth, resilience, and the ability to rise stronger after difficulties. The planets and stars in the sky symbolize curiosity, dreams, and limitless possibilities, encouraging students to explore beyond boundaries and reach for greatness.
Together, all the elements in the artwork beautifully express the message that education is a guiding light that inspires students to dream boldly, grow confidently, and move "Forward God Helping" toward a bright future.
The serene artwork on the Back cover by Fayuna Qureshi, Grade 7, captures the beauty of nature and the quiet journey toward your goals. The still waters reflect a sense of calmness, balance, and inner peace, while the mountains stand tall as symbols of strength, stability, and the challenges we overcome in life.
The warm orange sun spreads light across the sky, representing positivity, and the promise of a new day. The birds flying freely in the distance add a feeling of freedom encouraging us to explore new horizons.
The soft colours and simple composition create an atmosphere that inspires reflection and optimism.
The drawing beautifully conveys the message that life is a journey best taken with courage, hope, and confidence, always moving forward toward light and possibility.
When students feel Safe, Accepted, and Included, they are more likely to Learn.
Wish us a Bon Voyage as we set sail on the vast sea of knowledge - ready for adventure and magic!

Even though St. Joseph never spoke a word in scripture, his silent example of obedient faithfulness and diligent care for the Holy Family during Jesus' formative years has made him one of the most beloved saints of Christianity.
Although he came from King David's noble lineage, St. Joseph lived a life of great humanity and devotion to his Holy Family as a carpenter.
Matthew's gospel describes him as a "just man" (1:19). He is the patron saint of the Universal Church, and people invoke his aid for workers, families, home buyers and sellers, and the grace of a happy death, among the other things.
The feast of St. Joseph, Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Confessor of the Faith, is celebrated each year on March 19th
Hail, Guardian of the Redeemer,
Spouse of the Blessed Virgin Mary.
To you God entrusted His only Son;
In you Mary placed her trust;
With you Christ became man.
Blessed Joseph, to us too, show yourself a father
And guide us in the path of life.
Obtain for us grace, mercy and courage,
And defend us from every evil. Amen.
Joseph, pure spouse of that immortal bride,
Who shines in ever virgin glory bright,
Through all the Christian climes thy praise be sung
Through all the realms of light
Thee Patron of this most dear school we pray
Look on each child of ours as long ago
Thou didst regard the little Son of Mary,
With guidance and true love
