The St. Jude Catholic School curriculum stresses academic achievement within a Christian community where the child feels that he/she is loved and respected.  It includes the development of Catholic values and attitudes, as well as the attainment of knowledge and skills necessary for the student’s spiritual, moral, intellectual, social, and physical development. Our curriculum aims at the development and formation of the whole child in truth, goodness, and beauty.

​​

The Diocesan curriculum guidelines are followed for the teaching of all subject areas.  The basic curriculum for the school includes the following subjects: Religion, Reading, Language Arts (Grammar, Writing, Speaking and Listening, Handwriting), Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Art, Music, Physical Education, Technology and Library. 

​​

Since religion is the distinctive mark of every Catholic school, systematic religious instruction is provided daily at St. Jude Catholic School. Faith permeates the school and is an integral part of everyday living. Parents are strongly encouraged to assist their children in living out their faith by fulfilling this basic obligation of worship. 

​

In addition, the sacramental life of the children of the Catholic faith is an important component of the religion program at

St. Jude Catholic School. Preparations for two sacraments, Reconciliation and Eucharist, form the core of instruction in Grade 2. Students in Grades 7 & 8 receive instruction for the Sacrament of Confirmation. Parents are required to be active partners in the preparation of their children for these sacraments.
