Our dedication to junior high students:
At St. Jude’s, we are committed to creating a culture where students feel safe and are confidently supported by others. We believe parents, teachers and the school community can collaboratively support students by sharing in the responsibility to unlock their greatest academic potential. St. Jude’s is fully invested in each and every child that attends our school.
We are proud of our excellent reputation for student preparedness for high school. Many of our students go on to attend Chaminade, Crespi, Louisville, La Reina, Oaks Christian and Westlake. We regularly check in with admissions coordinators at local high schools from whom we receive praise for our amazing students!
The faith formation of the students is achieved not only through formal instruction, but more importantly, through services, relationships and participating in Mass and the sacramentals of the Church. Your family does not have to be Catholic to be accepted to our school. Students learn the doctrine of the Church and how they can apply their faith to their daily lives and relationships. Through our Christian Service program, we show our students how to “love thy neighbor.” We also get involved, with our students, in the community beyond the school.
Our students are accepted to the following high schools:
