Enabling youth in a Lasallian community to learn how to learn and to learn how to live; empowering them to become men and women of integrity and men and women for others.A mission school of choice, recognised for values-centred education and learning driven by passion, that nurtures persons who make a difference to society.
SJI intends to continue to offer a high quality education that is balanced and holistic, focusing on character formation and leadership development. SJI also aspires to move up to the next level of its development.By giving to the school, our alumni, parents, staff and friends enable SJI to fulfill our mission of nurturing persons of integrity and persons for others, who make a difference to society.
Over the history of the school, many of our Josephians have distinguished themselves by winning various scholarships including the highest awards such as the President's Scholarship. After completing their studies, many of the scholars have achieved success in their chosen professions and many have also gone on to contribute significantly to the development of Singapore in line with the school's mission of nurturing leaders who Men and Women of Integrity and Men and Women for Others.
An example of a Josephian who had a successful career after being awarded the State Scholarship in 1959 is Dr Tony Tan. Dr Tan retired as the Deputy Prime Minister in the Singapore Cabinet and was the Deputy Chairman and Executive Director of the Government of Singapore Investment Corporation, Chairman of Singapore Press Holdings and Chairman of the National Research Council. He was elected and sworn in as the 7th President of the Republic of Singapore in 2011.
A more recent example is Mr Teo Chee Hean. He was awarded the President's Scholarship in 1973. In 2009, he was appointed the Deputy Prime Minister in the Singapore Cabinet.
In 1973, SJI produced 3 President's scholars. In addition to Deputy Prime Minister Teo, the two others scholars were Mr George Yeo and Mr Chan Seng Onn. Mr Yeo is now the Minister for Foreign Affairs in the Singapore Cabinet while Justice Chan is a Judge in the Supreme Court. Deputy Prime Minister Teo's son, Mr Teo Eng Siang who was also an Old Boy of SJI was awarded the Overseas Merit Scholarship (Open) in 2005. Justice Chan's son also studied at SJI.

If I have a son, this is definitely one school that I'd consider sending him to. The way they teach values and guide him into becoming a man for others is indeed something worthy of my investment into my kid's future.

Can't tell you how much I appreciate the holistic education that SJI gave me. I wouldn't be half of who I am today, if it wasn't for SJI.

One of the best Boy's Middle School in Singapore. Hones your values and moulds your character into one that is upright, and forces you to think before you act inappropriately. Strong friendships forged over the 4 years education, and many graduands still keep in touch decades after entering society.
