Saint Joseph's School, Malang

Saint Joseph College (Kolese Santo Yusup (abb. KOSAYU) or Hwa Ind in Tionghua Indonesia) is a privately owned Catholic school in Malang, East Java, Indonesia. They enroll students starting from kindergarten through year 12.

On 16 January 1951, Father Joseph Wang, CDD was ordered by the bishop of Malang to develop a Catholic school for the Chinese students who, at the time, were learning in a Chinese school. Father Joseph Wang, called simply Father Wang, was a priest from the Congregation of the Lord's Disciples (CDD: Congregatio Discipulorum Domini).

He purchased a run-down building, previously the Dutch Neutrale Lagere School, on a land with an area of 5000m². The property is situated at 35 Dr. Soetomo Street, Malang. On 15 July 1951, the school unofficially opened under the name Roman Catholic Indonesian Chinese Secondary School (SM-RK Hwa Ind: Sekolah Menengah Roma Katolik Tionghua Indonesia). Two days later, the school began its first lessons to four students. The official opening of the school was carried out by Monsignor AEJ. Albers, O. Carm. on 19 March 1952; this is the date used as the school's anniversary.

On 4 January 1954, Father Wang opened one class for senior high school students with an enrolment of 27 students. On 1 December 1959, the school's name was changed to Saint Joseph College. On 1 September 1974, another campus was opened in the Blimbing area for the senior high school students. The school was named Saint Joseph Senior High School (SMAK Kolese Santo Yusup). At the time there were nine classes, but this has since increased to 29 classes for the senior high school students.
