Skt. Josef's School began in 1904 when a small group of French nuns, the Daughters of Wisdom, established Skt. Josef's Skole in Roskilde. It was originally a girls' school taught by the nuns; boys were admitted from 1924. In 2012 the International Department opened, creating Cambridge-based international education for children aged 5 to 16. The school operates as a self-governing institution with a Board consisting of three elected parent members and four appointees from the church.
Skt. Josef's has a diverse community with students from many cultural and religious backgrounds, represented by more than 40 nations. Traditions include the annual Science Fair as the flagship event for the International Department, plus Bridge Building projects and a Year 10 Work Experience program. Religious assemblies, musical events, and charity activities are also part of the school's communal life. These traditions help bind the school community together.
The school has a parent association, Forældrekredsen (the Parents' Association). All parents with children at the school are members. The association promotes cooperation between school and home by organizing social and academic activities and by raising funds for the benefit of the school and students. The Forældrekredsen Board of Directors consists of six members and two alternates, elected at the annual general meeting held at the end of September; three of the board members are also members of the school board. Class Parents Councils exist for each class, with a designated contact parent to help communication between parents and Forældrekredsen and to organize class social activities. All parents are members of the Forældreforening.
