The school has adopted several mottoes:
The school is led by a Rector, who oversees the Senior and Junior High School Directors (Principals). Each principal has three vice principals, one each for Curricular Affairs, General Affairs, and Student Affairs, the last one more commonly known as the Moderator inside the school. The Rector, Directors, and Moderators are usually Jesuit Pastors.
Canisius' history began on October 26, 1926 with the arrival of Dr. J. Kurris, Canisius College's first director. On June 1, 1927, the first class of AMS (Algemene Middelbare School) was started. The building of dormitories, hall and tennis court was finished on July 1929, and on October 26, 1931 Canisius College achieved official status with the appointing of Father A van Hoof SJ as its first rector.
During World War II, all activities were suspended and the college was used as a public high school. It was reopened on January 1 1946.
In 1952, Canisius opened junior high and senior high schools. For 15 years (1952-1967), 90%-100% students passed the national final examination. In 1967, the curriculum was changed and divided into three areas of study: culture-literature, social economics, and science. In 1974, the college implemented a point credit system.
As a private school, Canisius College follows the Indonesia curriculum KTSP (Kurikulum Tingkat Satuan Pendidikan).In the high school, students are divided into two programs: Science stream and Social stream.
