St Joseph's School (SJS) is a primary to secondary school in Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates.[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 H. E. Giovanni Bernardo Gremoli, O.F.M. Cap., Vicar Apostolic Emeritus, the former Bishop (retired March 2005) of the Vicariate of Arabia, afterwards succeeded by H. E. Paul Hinder, O.F.M. Cap., the current Bishop. The school, always associated with the Roman Catholic Church, was located initially with the church building on the Corniche strip. 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 Christ, whose feast-day is celebrated on the same day.
