St Joseph's School (SJS) is a primary to secondary school in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates and is next to St. Joseph's Cathedral, Abu Dhabi.[1]
Overview[]
The school was established in 1967 and is managed by the Apostolic Vicariate of the Roman Catholic Church to Arabia.[2] After its establishment, the school was managed by Giovanni Bernardo Gremoli, afterwards succeeded by Paul Hinder. The school, always associated with the Roman Catholic Church, was located initially with the church building on the Abu Dhabi Corniche. Following the decision of the local government that the site be altered, the present foundation was laid for church and school buildings on 19 March 1981, and dedicated to St Joseph, the foster father of Jesus Christ, whose feast-day is celebrated on the same day.
The school uniform is grey and white. Red jumpers may be worn in winter. On PT days, students wear their house colors with black pants.[citation needed]
