MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Principal
Education is a lifelong learning process. Learning
takes place all the time. Learning happens not only in a pre-designated
place like the 'College'. It happens at home, between home and College.
The mission of home and College therefore is to provide a learning environment
and opportunities to the students who are the 'Learners'.
Shaping the young, impressionable minds is one of
the biggest challenges of life. At St. Joseph College, Ukhrul, we aim
to empower the young learners to grow as individuals with strong open
discerning minds with an international perspective, preparing them to
make a mark in the global village where the world has come to be today.
The distinctive academic programs and innovative teaching methodologies
in St. Joseph College, Ukhrul encourages the students to develop critical-thinking
and learn through enquiry and reason, to exchange thoughts and ideas,
to develop key personal and social values, to take ownership for his/her
choices and to set goals to realize their own unique potentials.
The teachers approach the classroom as one does a temple. Teacher-student
relationship in St. Joseph College, Ukhrul is characterized by love
and trust. This relationship between the teachers and students is continued
both within the classroom and in the wider College environment.
We strive

of discipline that is flexible yet supportive, a freedom that allows
students to learn even from their mistakes, to develop into person molded
by the correlation of freedom and responsibility.

co-curricular activities of the College is designed to provide young
learners to develop and grow in all the areas of the person, namely
physical, social, emotional and cognitive.
St. Joseph College, Ukhrul
follows a process-oriented way of teaching wherein the teachers provide
the students opportunities to explore wide variety of materials. The
learners' enjoyment and learning through these explorations are given
importance besides the final product or outcome.
Parental involvement
in the student's education process is both a gift to the student and
also a gift to the College. This partnership is strongly encouraged
and highly valued at St. Joseph College, Ukhrul.
The practical experience
of learning enables our students to leave our College daily with either
something in their hand, something in their mind and especially something
in their heart.
