WELCOME TO ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE
St. Joseph's College is, by popular acknowledgement, Sri Lanka's leading Roman Catholic School for
boys. Effectively unchallenged, it has occupied this position ever since it was founded in 1896 by
French missionaries led by Rev. Fr. Christophe-Etienne Bonjean.
Over the years, the College has seen many changes Like all enduring institutions, it has often been obliged to adapt
to the needs and constraints of the historical movement. Yet, in spite of inevitable changes, St. Joseph's has never
deviated from its principal goal of producing men of faith, knowledge and virtue whose loved ones, fellow workers and society
at large may safely rely upon, and, from whose labour and advice they may continue to benefit as they have already
done for well over a century.
