About

Saint Joseph's School is a private Indian-curriculum (CBSE) school in Al Mushrif, Abu Dhabi, founded in 1967 by the Roman Catholic Apostolic Vicariate of Southern Arabia and managed by the Carmelite Sisters of St. Theresa — one of Abu Dhabi's oldest schools and the only Indian-curriculum member of the St. Mary's Group. It is English-medium and co-educational from Grade 1 to Grade 6, becoming girls-only from Grade 7, running through to Grade 12 with the CBSE Grade 10 (AISSE) and Grade 12 (AISSCE) board examinations across Science and Commerce streams. Rated Very Good by ADEK (held since 2021/22) and one of only a few CBSE schools in the emirate at that tier, it serves around 1,150 students — the largest group Indian — with a 100% CBSE board pass rate and a values-based ethos ("Shine Where You Are"). Its low fees (from AED 6,650) make it one of the emirate's most affordable schools.
