Our Philosophy
St. Jude School fosters the development of Christian values: respect, kindness, love, compassion, courage, and responsibility for one’s potential. We build upon the students’ individual strengths and their core of basic skills and knowledge in order to maximize their potential. We encourage students to develop their unique gifts and range of talents spiritually, intellectually, physically, and emotionally. We are a community of learners, where teachers, students, and families alike strive towards and support academic excellence.
The pillars of our educational philosophy include:
- We educate our children in a faith-based environment. Young people are a valued treasure and the future leaders of our Church.
- We provide programs in character education that include the many facets of good character like honesty, trustworthiness, obtaining self-worth, being responsible, doing the right thing, acting with honor, and valuing a good reputation.
- We have a dedicated, loving, caring, and supportive team of teachers and staff who know each student by name and assist them daily growing spiritually and academically.
- We provide an exceptional educational experience for our students – one that is both truly Catholic and of the highest academic quality.
- We provide our students with sound Church teaching through a broad-based curriculum, where faith and culture are intertwined in all areas of our school’s life.
