Colegio de San José, also referred to by its acronym CSJ, is a higher education institution in Iloilo City in the Philippines.

Ildefonso Moral, rector of the Jaro Archdiocesan Seminary, and Recardo Mascuñana signed the contract of its establishment on July 9, 1871.

The curriculum included Reading, History, Writing, Arithmetic, Spanish Grammar, Practical Arts, and Religious and Moral Training.

The Viritas, local newspaper, quoted that the burning of Colegio de San Jose was both material and historic loss to Iloilo.

In the early 1950s, the Escuela Municipal became a free school serving as a laboratory for the in-campus practice teaching of normal education students.

Church and government officials, heads of schools, superiors of the congregation like Ana Cassassas and Hermenegilda Beroiz and Zacariaz Zubinas, the whole Daughters of Charity province, lay benefactors and alumni all over the country, contributed to the rebuilding of the new college building.

During her term she also had the supervision of the opening of the Marillac Academy in Miag-ao, a sister institution of Colegio de San Jose.

School year 1981-1982 saw Colegio de San Jose making a forward thrust by opting for PAASCU accreditation.
