St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute

"St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute (SJCI) is a Catholic, independent college-preparatory high school educating young men of diverse backgrounds in the tradition of St. John Baptist de La Salle. Through a broad and balanced, human and Christian education, SJCI guides the development of each student's unique talents, fostering a commitment to academic excellence, service, and leadership in the global community." Lasallian schools are Roman Catholic academic communities inspired by the vision of St. John Baptist de La Salle, and maintained through the heritage of the Brothers of the Christian Schools, a heritage marked by faith and zeal. The principal function of Lasallian schools consists in making the means of salvation available to young people. This is accomplished through quality education and witness to the Person and Message of Jesus Christ. The activities of a Lasallian school focus on growth in faith, animated by a spirit of prayer and an attentiveness to the presence of God. As a Christ-centered educational community, St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute ministers to both the educational and religious needs of high school young men by preparing them in the formation of individual responsibility, by cultivating the positive attitudes of mutual respect, compassion, interdependence, and service within the Church and the larger community. In keeping with its Lasallian mission, St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute is committed to promoting positive social relations within a diverse group of students, establishing a school environment of respectful and culturally sensitive interactions between students and between students and faculty. SJCI creates an inclusive Catholic educational program and pedagogy, fostering respect for individual, cultural, and socioeconomic differences, developing commitment to social responsibility, equity, and justice. SJCI recognizes the value of diversity within its school community. Therefore, we seek to ensure the inclusion of these identities within the culture of our school as a major component in preparing our students for active and positive participation in our global world. St. Joseph's Collegiate Institute is a Lasallian college-preparatory school for young men that is dedicated to responding to the needs of each student. Touching the hearts and minds of our students for lives of accomplishment and service.
