About SJSFI

Founded in 1996, Saint Joseph School of Fairview, Inc. (SJSFI) started as a preschool learning center catering to the educational needs of young children in Quezon City. With 39 preschoolers and a commitment to providing excellent educational services, the school quickly gained recognition and appreciation from the local community.

Over the years, SJSFI's dedicated and highly-trained teachers from reputable universities consistently implemented child development studies and child-centered philosophies in all educational programs.

A significant milestone came in 1997 when SJSFI expanded its offerings to include Elementary Education, further solidifying its position as an institution focused on holistic learning. Driven by its vision and mission, and with unwavering support from the Board of Trustees, school administration, faculty, and staff, the institution embarked on a transformative journey.

In June 2002, SJSFI moved to a larger and improved location at Atherton St. Phase 8, North Fairview, Quezon City. This move proved to be a turning point for the school, as it evolved into a renowned institution recognized by the Department of Education.

Today, SJSFI proudly provides a comprehensive range of educational programs, including Preschool, Elementary, Junior and Senior High School, and Inclusive Education, making a lasting impact on the lives of countless learners and the community it serves.

Our curriculum and co-curricular activities are designed to provide well-rounded growth and foster a sense of personal and social responsibility.

Josephian Core Values

EXCELLENCE

"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart." –Colossians 3:23

We promote excellence in both academic and non-academic endeavors to ensure optimal outcomes.

INTEGRITY

"Dear children, let us not love with words or speech but with actions and in truth." –1 John 3:18

We believe that integrity is the highest level of honesty. Josephians take responsibility for their actions and send forth to do the right thing.

DIGNITY

"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them;" –Genesis 1:27

We aspire to uphold dignity in all forms that transcends all of our individual differences. We encourage diversity with mutual recognition for respect, fair treatment and to feel safe that grants freedom and hope.

COMPASSION

"Since God chose you to be the holy people he loves, you must clothe yourselves with tenderhearted mercy, kindness, humility, gentleness, and patience." –Colossians 3:12

Josephians are honed to have the ability to expand compassion beyond oneself and serve the community. We believe that social awareness helps recognize adversities and social action prepares us to take measures to alleviate adverse situations.

PERSON FOR OTHERS

"Act with justice, love with kindness and walk humbly with your God." –Micah 6:8

We give utmost importance to the value of service as one of the cornerstones of our instructional approach. Josephians are nurtured to go beyond the acts of giving by consistently embracing inclusion and diversity of learners. We serve out of love and the desire for the greater good.
