St. Joseph’s English Medium School, Nanagar, Koshigram, Katwa – Under the Catholic Diocese of Asansol.
The school follows the Council for the Indian School Certificate Examinations (CISCE) curriculum and prepares students for ICSE (Class X) and ISC (Class XII) examinations. English is the medium of instruction, while Hindi or Bengali are offered as second and third languages.
In the Primary section, emphasis is placed on developing basic skills, creativity, and curiosity through joyful learning experiences. Assessment is continuous and based on classroom participation and assignments. The Middle section focuses on strengthening core concepts through projects, practical activities, and collaborative learning.
The Senior School offers three streams — Science, Commerce, and Humanities. The curriculum encourages critical thinking, analytical skills, and value-based decision-making. Smart classrooms and digital resources enhance the teaching-learning experience.
A programme of Value Education and moral instruction runs across all classes. Rooted in Christian values and open to all faiths, it aims at character formation, discipline, compassion, and respect for all.
Students participate in Karate, Yoga, Scouts & Guides, National Cadet Corps, Games, Taru Mitra (Go-Green Project) and cultural programmes. These develop leadership, discipline, teamwork, and environmental awareness.
Continuous assessment through class tests, unit tests, projects, and semester examinations ensures consistent academic progress. Performance is evaluated holistically rather than by a single final exam.
Excursions, environmental drives, charity fairs, and cultural celebrations form an integral part of the curriculum, helping students grow in confidence, empathy, and social responsibility — in line with our mission: “To train the students to be better citizens of tomorrow in thought, word, and action.”
