Established in 1875, St. Joseph's College (SJC; traditional Chinese: 聖若瑟書院; Jyutping: sing3 joek6 sat1 syu1 jyun2; demonym: ''Josephian'') is the oldest Catholic boys' secondary school in Hong Kong. It is located at 7 Kennedy Road, Mid-levels, in the Central and Western District. The College enrollment is about 1198; together with the affiliated kindergarten and primary school at 48 Wood Road, Hong Kong, Wan Chai, the enrollment of the schools now exceeds 4200.〔St. Joseph's College (2006). (St. Joseph's College School Profile 2006-2007 )〕 St. Joseph's College is one of the few schools in Hong Kong that, for the most part, relies on English as the means of communication. The school curriculum uses English to teach all subjects apart from Chinese-related ones and French. St. Joseph's College has always been revered as one of the most elite boys' schools in Hong Kong. At one point there was a kindergarten affiliated with the school. That closed in 2012, in order to make room for the primary school to become a whole-day school. From 2013, the primary school only had five classes, reduced from eight, in each grade; and is a whole-day school for all the six grades of primary education. The total enrollment of the two schools now is about 2000. The sponsoring body of the College is the Institute of the Brothers of the Christian Schools. Known as the 'Lasallian Brothers', the Institute's spirit is of faith and zeal: to have ''faith'' in God and an ardent ''zeal'' to teach the children, helping them in developing themselves so to live as brothers and sisters in a world of justice. In accordance, the mission of the College is "to educate students in areas of intellectual, physical, social, moral and emotional development" and "to impart a human and Christian education...and to do so with ''faith'' and ''zeal''".〔 The College provides education with an emphasis on not only academic but also extracurricular activities. The College also aims at stimulating the social awareness of the students, with a number of alumni becoming important social figures.〔 The north and west blocks of the College are declared monuments of Hong Kong.〔(List of declared monuments of Hong Kong as at 12 Jan 2007 )〕 ==History== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Joseph's College (Hong Kong)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
