Saint Joseph Catholic College (セント・ジョセフ・カレッジ) was a Catholic international school, located on the 'Bluff' in Naka-ku, Yokohama. The school was founded as a division of Gyosei Gakuen (1888). It waslater established as an independent private school by the Marianists (1901). It served kindergarten, elementary education and secondary education, primarily to the expatriate community in Yokohama. The School or Church sponsored the first Scout troop in Jpan (1911). St. Joseph College closed with the graduating class of June 2000. Here we are a little confused because there seems to be a St. Joseph's Gaugkin/Accademy operating in Yokahama during the late-2010s. We do not know if there was a conection with St. Joseph's College that closed in 2000 or just when the Accadrmy was operated. We suspect that the connection is St. Joseph's Church. We note tgat Saint Joseph Gakuen Elementary Academy was certified as the "International Baccalaureate PYP School" for the first time as a Japanese elementary school (January 9, 2018). The decision to introduce the International Baccalaureate Primary Education Program was made because the school's basic spirit and educational policy are in line with the International Baccalaureate (IB) mission statement. With the background of Christian values, the IB program has developed into a world-wide education program for nurturing international people and has spread to the world. Father Iwao Katsuno, the first principal of the Acadeny explains the school's educational policy, "We aim to develop an education that nurtures the people who create true peace and happiness of people by proactively taking the various problems of this world as other issues and not taking them as other issues. The IB mission statement is, "to foster young, inquisitive, knowledgeable and caring people who will contribute to building a better and more peaceful world through a spirit of understanding and respect for diverse cultures."
