St. Joseph's High School, East Timor
- St. Joseph's High School, East Timor
St. Joseph’s High School (in Portuguese: Colégio de São José) is a high school (ages 15-18) in Dili, East Timor. It was founded by the Dicosese of Dili in 1983/84, when East Timor was still part of Indonesia. In 1993 the school was entrusted to the Society of Jesus.
In 1999 the school had 350 students and 42 teachers. During the wave of violence which surrounded the referendum for independence in August that year, the school became a refugee camp, sheltering almost 5,000 people. After the crisis the school was reduced to 252 students and four teachers. In 2003 it had recovered to 280 with 10 full time staff and 16 part time teachers.
The school is coeducational, and some 50 students are seminarians, planning to become priests.
