learners to become well-rounded learners<br />

with its value-centric education that<br />

As the first SJII in Malaysia, St Joseph<br />

is part <strong>of</strong> the Lasallian education circle<br />

in Asia which includes the 160-yearold<br />

St Joseph’s Institution (independent<br />

all-boys secondary school) and St<br />

Joseph’s Institution International School<br />

(independent co-educational international<br />
