About St Joseph’s Private Primary School
St Joseph’s Private Primary School in Kuching, Sarawak, is a Catholic co-educational institution established in 2012 under the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Kuching. It is part of the St Joseph’s family of schools, which traces its missionary education heritage to 1882, when the first St Joseph’s School was founded by Mill Hill missionaries.
The school’s niche lies in its holistic approach to education, combining Malaysia’s national primary curriculum with additional learning opportunities, including Singapore syllabus exposure, English-medium Mathematics and Science, and compulsory Mandarin lessons. Catechism and character development also form an important part of its educational philosophy.
Aside from this recent award, the school is also well known for its award winning Children’s choir team and swiming team, with the school producing 58 straight A’s students in the recent DLP Examination.
