About
Our School
St Jude Academy is a private high school rooted in the values of Catholic tradition. St Jude strives to create an environment for students that encourages inner discipline, and a commitment to discipleship. Students are encouraged to explore concepts and ideas through immersive lessons, and will have opportunities to choose areas of independent study to enhance their learning. The core subjects will be based on a classical curriculum but implemented to be accessible to students’ individual learning needs.

School Motto
​
“Esse Quam Videri” - to be rather than to seem
In the parable of the Pharisee and the Publican our Lord draws a deep contrast between those who have all appearances of righteousness, and those who are actually righteous in the eyes of God. At St. Jude we want our students to focus on their right relationship with God according to His teachings through the Catholic Church. We encourage students to have a strong and true dependence on God’s love and mercy despite their personal and spiritual challenges or the opinions of others.
