Educational Philosophy Print E-mail

Saint Jude Catholic School sees education as a holistic undertaking that strives for the complete formation of the human person which looks into the final end of the individual and the common good of societies. Children and youth are to be nurtured to develop harmoniously their physical, emotional, social, moral and intellectual talents.

The school understands that parents and those who take their place have the fundamental and inalienable right to the education of their children. The Church also has a role in education founded on its divine mission to assist all men and women in their efforts to achieve the fullness of Christian life. By means of education, Saint Jude Catholic School carries out the missionary task of the Church and the specific charism of the Society of the Divine Word (SVD) to proclaim the mystery of salvation to all people and renew all things in Christ.

From the founding generations of the school, the two-pronged curricular programs in English and Chinese have been distinctly developed. These programs mold youth through a formative process that interweaves the development of reason, the deepening of faith, the living of Christian discipline and values and the appreciation of cultural heritage. Out of this process, socially responsible leaders and active agents of change will emerge readily to significantly contribute for the transformation of the society.
