Within the academic structure of St Joseph's College, all pupils will be encouraged to develop and follow an Individual Learning Plan, which is a specific programme or strategy of education or learning that takes into consideration the pupil's strengths and weaknesses.

While normal classroom education is built on the premise that all should get equal attention, be exposed to the same curriculum and evaluated on the same pattern, individual learning presumes that the needs of individual students are different, and thus, must be differently addressed.

St Joseph's College teaching style within a small class framework enables more one-to-one focus on individual pupils, leading to measureable value added academic results.
