The school was founded in 1959 by the Lasallian Brothers and was staffed by American Brothers. Established for the wealthy and ruling class, after the revolution in the 1970s the school mainly caters to the children of civil servants and small traders.[3]
The school enrolls 1,600 boys, with classes between grades 1 and 12. Currently, the school is staffed almost entirely by lay teachers including the administration. There are around 40 students per class. With 3-4 classes per section, teachers see 120-160 students every day. St. Joseph School has a reputation for academic excellence and for its students having the best academic performances in the country. Top scorers on high school national examinations are often from St. Joseph.
