St. Joseph Higher Secondary School & College (ⓘ) (Bengali: সেন্ট যোসেফ উচ্চ মাধ্যমিক স্কুল এন্ড কলেজ) is a Catholic higher secondary school in Asad Avenue, Mohammadpur, Dhaka, Bangladesh, regarded as one of the best schools in Bangladesh. In 2023, St. Joseph was awarded the 'A+' grade. It is a school offering education from third to twelfth grade, with pupils averaging 8 to 18 years of age. The school is a single-shift (morning) school with over 2,500 students. In 1965, the college relocated to historical Asad Gate near Jatiya Sangsad Bhaban under the jurisdiction of the Mohammadpur Thana, and being named St. Joseph Higher Secondary School.
