Welcome to St Joseph's College, the independent day and boarding school for girls and boys aged 2 to 19 in Ipswich. 

St Joseph’s feels different. And that’s the way we like it! Our unique environment is shaped by our ethos, which combines strong Christian values with a unique approach to supporting and nurturing children within a family environment.

We challenge all of our students to ‘be their best’ in every aspect of College life and set high standards for everyone in our community. Parents, pupils and staff work together to ensure that we produce confident pupils without arrogance, team players who will stand up for what is right and compassionate, caring members of society.

Discover more about what we do by reading Our Ethos and where we are going by reading Our Vision, College Development Plan and Building for the Future. Experience this for yourself at one of our up-coming Open Days.

Our Latest News and Newsletters provide examples of the weekly, daily and even hourly opportunities and challenges that our pupils embrace in both academic and extra-curricular life of the School. The resultant all-round education develops our pupils into well-rounded individuals who challenge themselves to be their best in every aspect of life at the school, and beyond.

We believe that great teachers and a great supporting team are the root of the strong academic performance and achievement for pupils of all abilities and skills at our school.
