Comments: Saint Joseph's College, at Nainital is one of the best boarding schools of the world. I really like how no one is left behind in sem, creativity based activities like art, music, dance, acting etc. are appriciated just the same as studies, so that no talent is hidden. The school campus is HUGE, it has a lot of buildings alongside of 7 fields, used to showcase sports related activities. There are countless reasons making this school different than any other school I've ever visited. SJC is just, UNREAL!

The school has very beautiful buildings and even more beautiful environment .Our school is not just known for its beauty, but also for its education. It is one of the oldest school in Nainital and one of the best school in India. The teachers are very dedicated and hardworking.

And last but not the least, I would like to mention our Principal(Br. Hector) he is such a good human being. Sir, always treat everyone with kindness.

My experience in Sem is extraordinary.I Iove my school.

Comments: St. Joseph's College Nainital is one of the best school in India. I like this school so much. In this school you can find almost every facility including the best food. Situated in the serene beauty of Nainital, the school was Established in 1888. The staff of this school is very caring and the most loving person is our Principal Br. Hector Pinto. Along with the studies and games this school focuses on the moral development of the students. It would not be wrong to say - ' It is a home away from home.

Comments: This school is almost 125 years old and the structure is very well maintained. The whole vibe of the campus is really welcoming. If you want your kids overall personality grooming this is the school you want your child to be in. The campus is humongous with the area spread in almost 10 acres. The head of the school Brother Hector is an extremely dynamic personality. He has used the lockdown to create beautiful landscape and recreational areas for the student with the help of their dedicated staff and old resources such as broken chairs, tables old wood. The school is located on one of the peaks overlooking the beautiful Nainital valley. It does snow here and the campus turns into something like fairytale land. Overall its a beautiful school with excellent people to serve.

Comments: When I enter the gates of Sem, I feel I am back home. The most beautiful years of my life. A place where our batchmates (including Senior and Junior)teachers and staff were our family. Visiting Sem after many years, I see a beautiful transformation of the facilities. Every place in the premises is being used and well planned. Sem is providing a lot more facilities now. The cliff is an example of innovation, art and hands-on experience on building a sustainable environment. It was lovely to meet some of the students. They are very courteous and well engaged. I want to thank Br Hector Pinto and the staff for all the wonderful work!!! I will always be grateful to Sem for the beautiful years, the Brotherhood and the care of the staff. Thank you. Warm Regards, Peter Wu (1999 Batch)

Comments: I came back to school after the 125th Jubilee celebrations and so much has changed since then. Reliving old memories, meeting some of the old teachers and staff… It’s a feeling which cannot be described in words. It's nostalgic.Sitting here in the dining hall, my heart fills up remembering how I started here as a small child and became the first version of myself by the time I passed out from here. So much has changed over the years since we passed out, but the memories of yesteryear never fade. I would like to congratulate the Principal and the staff of this school on doing a brilliant job with us and the children who came after us. I can never thank you enough. Wish to come back someday and relive a day or two again as a student in this prestigious school. Thank you so much! Yuvraj Singh Bist 1999 Batch.

Comments: 15. All the memories came flooding back! What a day! One of the best days of my life – to be back at the Good Old Sem. It was amazing to see all the positive changes in our school and the children and the students doing the same things and living the same life. May the tradition last forever and ever!! The smell of the gymnasium and the monkey bar was extremely nostalgic. Stepping onto the first field felt like the way I felt when I stepped on it in the month of March 1991. It was great to see the school keep up with the times with the introduction of modern facilities and keeping in touch with the tradition. The Semiteshave a sure chance of making it big in life with their formative lives in this great institution. Thank you Brothers, Teachers and Sem Family for “Fighting the Good Fight”.

The all round improvements brought about by you is praiseworthy. The Park is beautiful, a labour of love, constructed with such ingenuity.....and the Tunnel, a coal storage converted and furnished as a work of art. SEM under your stewardship is poised to become one of the finest educational institutes. Good to see that sports, one of our strong points, is being encouraged. A world class Squash Court and Synthetic Tennis court that are being prepared is something to be proud of. On behalf of Mr Prem Kapil, Dr. Ashish Jaswal and ourselves , we convey to you our heartfelt gratitude. We are proud to be from SEM. Our best wishes to you, Bro Rayan, teachers, staff and students of SEM. Regards. Shiv Jaswal.

Comments: The idea of boarding schools has haunted me since my childhood. In Army terms it was always a ‘punishment posting”! St Joseph’s College has definitely broken that glass ceiling. It feels like heaven here on the contrary. The kids are happier than their homes. Nature has bestowed its blessings over the school with its heart open and poured its fruits with open arms. It has a peaceful, serene environment. Brother Hector seems and feels like a friend to all the kids. He knows each one of them by name and has an individual relation with each one of them. They are truly happy in his company, smiling ear to ear. The old vintage building has its own charm. It will grow on you and you will never want to leave the place. The school tries and succeeds in every way to keep itself updated in every way while holding our culture and morals. I wish Brother Hector and the school all the luck and God’s peace and mercy and God’s speed!!

Walking through the gates, looking at the view that I was used to over three decades ago is an experience difficult to express in just a few words. My foundation in becoming a doctor definitely came from these walls. Thank you to Principal Pinto for making me, my wife and my daughters relive my memories. On my part, I hope to help my alma mater in some way or the other. There is so much that we Semites can do for our beautiful school. It was wonderful to witness the positive change that Br Pinto has brought. I am sure that the next generation of Semites will take advantage of tennis courts, the squash courts, the cliff, the Tunnel, the revamped class rooms, gymnasium etc. Wishing everyone all the best and bowing down to all my teachers who made me what I am!

Comments: 4TH August, 2021 It was a great experience to visit our beautiful school after so many years. Br Hector Pinto and Mr. D’Gama gave us a lot of time and we had a lovely walk around the entire campus. It was a delightful experience to visit the newly done ‘cliffs’ area. It is beautifully done and displays a lot of creativity. The most interesting thing to know is that it is all done with recycled stuff and all the work was done by the school support staff during the lockdown. The new ‘Tunnel’ was really exciting and an entirely new and delightful experience. It was really amazing to meet Br Beddoe after so many years. Great to see him in the pink of health. Hope God keeps him this way forever. We consider ourselves really lucky to have visited the school under the guidance of Br Pinto and MrD’Gama which made our experience much more memorable and absolutely amazing.
