St. Joseph’s Indian Educational Institutions is starting a middle school from this academic year, which will encourage co-education. The group, whose association with the city dates back to 1904, will celebrate its 110th anniversary on 10th and 12th January 2016.
With the launch of the middle school, the group will have a complete range of institutions ranging from primary, middle and high school, to composite pre-university and community college in its sprawling campus.Priests of the religious order of the Society of Jesus or Jesuits, which runs the institutions, have taken a conscious decision of throwing open their doors to girls, which was not the case in the past when admission was restricted to boys.
Thus, co-education has become the order of the day, starting with the community college in 2005, pre-university section in 2009, and primary section in 2014 and the middle school in 2016.
