School Philosophy

It is the philosophy of St. Jude School to recognize the parents as the primary educators of their children. Therefore, it is with the active involvement of our parents that together we strive to reach our fullest potential by being:

...Spiritual Persons who constantly seek to further our relationship with God: who recognize and proclaim the goodness and grace of God in ourselves and in others: who are willingly committed to a Christian lifestyle, and are actively involved with the Faith Community.

...Whole Persons who assess humbly our own personal capabilities, limitations and areas of incompleteness; who are joy filled and morally self-disciplined; who acknowledge and possess an attitude which recognizes the many and varied choices in life.

...Loving Persons who see beyond ourselves willingly and creatively sharing our time and talents with the rest of society; who are accepting, compassionate and sensitive to those who are met throughout life.

...Responsible Persons who confidently and competently respond to meeting just needs, protecting personal rights, and respecting the earth's environment; who are committed to peaceful resolutions of conflict; who enjoy our own satisfaction in tasks well done.

...Hope Filled Persons who are rooted in our still unfolding Catholic tradition, eager to face in faith and trust an uncertain future with a critical, reflective, creative and peaceful anticipation.
