About Us: With a vision to work for children and help them find a place to grow and learn to live a life of dignity, the sisters of St. Joseph of Annecy, deliberated in 2011, on the possibility of opening an English Medium High School at Jokalandi, Bharatpur near Bhubaneswar.

Overview: The Society of St. Joseph after having diligently discussed in its society meeting in 2011,under the leadership of Sr. Pauline, the then Provincial decided to establish a school at the premises of Jokalandi Convent. The school was named St. Joseph’s High School (English Medium), Jokalandi and was inaugurated on 2nd April 2012 by Shri Dhaja Mohan Behera, a former Minister of Odisha State in the presence of Sr. Pauline and a large number of religious and priests from Bhubaneswar. The decade gone by has been a period of graces and achievements! We began with ten four-year-old kids in 2012. When we look back, we raise our hearts to the Lord ingratitude. Today we have 315 students. We have evolved a lot over the last ten years. Challenging struggles had come on our way. Yet we sailed through the rough waters. As an Institution, we have learnt the art of management. We have had moments of tears and smiles. We have grown through the hardships and adjustments. Time keeps changing and life keeps evolving but when you look behind, time stands still and reminds you of the guiding Hands. Our leaders, superiors, sisters, parents, and children granted us whole hearted support to march ahead. Authorities provided us with the wherewithal to run the show. Parents, trusted our competence to manage an educational institution which had a humble beginning. All of them stood by us with the required encouragement to administer the school as well-oiled machinery.

Mission and Objectives: The initial struggles did not hamper our commitment nor our passion for the Mission. We never compromised on our vision. We worked hard to instill values in our children and create a knowledgeable generation. School has shown steady growth and has a future in the fast developing Bharatpur and adjoining areas which is witnessing high-rise residential and office buildings; hospitals and institutions and also market complexes.
