The school completed its [[Anniversary|quasquicentennial]] year of existence in 2015.

==History==
In 1830, a free school was established for the Goan community in Mr. Cooper's residence in 69 Bowbazar Street. This was later taken over by the Calcutta Brothers who built a single building in the present location of the school.

[[File:Edmund Ignatius Rice.JPG|thumb|[[Edmund Ignatius Rice]] is the founder of [[Congregation of Christian Brothers]].]]

In 1842, [[Apostolic vicariate|Vicar Apostolic]] [[Patrick Joseph Carew|Monsignor Carew]] of Calcutta was keenly aware of the increasing number of British and European children made fatherless by disease or battle. He saw the need for congregations of [[Nun]]s and [[Brother (Christian)|Brothers]] to care for and teach these poor children who were termed 'war orphans'. His immediate choice was the [[Sisters of Loreto|Loreto Sisters]] and the [[Congregation of Christian Brothers|Irish Christian Brothers]]. The founding of the school was done about forty years earlier, by a Waterford businessman, ''[[Edmund Ignatius Rice|Edmund Rice]]'' , who had just lost his wife. However, while the Irish nuns arrived in India in 1844 and took up residence at Middleton Row, the Christian Brothers were unable to spare any Brothers for the Indian Mission. As an alternative, the Brothers offered to train men who would form the nucleus of the new Congregation in India. Accordingly, in September, 1847, two young men, ''Br. Francis Fitzpatrick'' and his cousin, ''Br. Alphonsus Tolan'', having completed their short spell of training in [[Ireland]], began their long and wearisome voyage around the [[Cape of Good Hope]] to [[Kolkata|Calcutta]], arriving on 15 February 1848. They immediately set up the new community of the Calcutta Brothers in the Cathedral compound, Murghihata. Br. Francis took charge of the orphanage at Murghihata while Br. Alphonsus travelled each day to look after the Boys' Free School in Bow Bazar. The little Congregation grew slowly but received a setback when both [[Apostolic vicariate|Vicar Apostolic]] Carew and Br. Francis died in 1855.

It was only in January 1890, that the Irish Christian Brothers were able to set up their mission on a firm footing when five Brothers (''Vincent Casey'', ''Fabian Kenneally'', ''Edward Aherne'' ''and'' ''Ambrose Flynn'') came to Calcutta from Ireland at the request of [[Pope Leo XII]]. Br. Casey was appointed Provincial Visitor and the amalgamation of the four Irish Christian Brothers and sixteen Calcutta Brothers took place. The brothers were fond of little children and often spent large amounts of time teaching them.

=== St. Joseph's College ===

In 1894, a new building, the present red- brick structure, was erected under the direction of Br. Joseph Moyes and is now St. Joseph's College, Bow Bazar . This became the Head Office of the Christian Brothers till it was moved to [[St. Columba's School, Delhi|St. Columba's School]], New Delhi, in 1980. The work that the Brothers were doing received recognition and requests came from several Catholic Bishops for the Brothers to open schools in their dioceses. At the turn of the century - there were nearly fifty Brothers in India, both Irish and Anglo-Indian, and a training house for Brothers (novitiate) was started at Mt Carmel's, overlooking [[Goethals Memorial School|Goethals]].

St. Joseph's College was affiliated to the ICSE and ISC Boards in the year 1970. In 1994, ''Aashirvaad Vidyalaya'', a bilingual school for the children of migrant workers, was opened on the ''St. Joseph's'' and ''St George's'' campuses.

St. George's School is a tuition-free school which is run and managed by St. Joseph's College providing quality education to those who cannot afford it. The books and uniforms all are provided for by St. Joseph's College.
