It represents our dedication to fostering an environment where students can develop themselves academically, spiritually and morally. At the SJC Nazareth Centre, they will learn the values for life including love, compassion, integrity and leadership. This will inspire them and strive to excel in their endeavours; thereby, becoming “valuable citizens of our Motherland”.

SJC Nazareth Centre is a beacon of hope, where dreams are nurtured and the seeds of implicit faith and astute leadership will grow abundantly and flourish faith. Upon completion of their stay at this sacred centre, they will be blessed and equipped with the strength and wisdom to lead their lives in empathy and justice, embodying the true spirit of St. Joseph’s College.
