要聞速覽
聖裘德學校不同於滑鐵盧地區的任何其他學校！乍一看，這就是我們的與眾不同之處：
- 滑鐵盧地區唯一的私立特殊教育走讀學校
- 無宗派和男女同校
- 為每個學生量身定制和建構由教師指導的特殊教育
- 幫助學生超過40年
- 班級配備一名教師和一名教育助理
- 班級規模依學生的需要而定，一般為 3/4/5 位學生與一位講師的比例
- 儘管聖猶達意識到許多有學習困難（即LD、ADD、ASD）的兒童會感到自卑、焦慮和沮喪，但聖猶達並不認為身體攻擊、恐嚇和/或威脅行為是這些學習困難所固有的。在大多數情況下，這些都是後天習得的行為，不會被容忍，並將導致撤銷註冊和/或開除。
- 聖裘德學院不會接受擁有或需要公共資助教育系統定義的「安全計畫」的兒童

Our Mission & Beliefs
At St. Jude’s, our mission is to help our students experience the JOY of LEARNING! We believe students require consistency, understanding, fairness, and a sense of personal responsibility, as well as excellent teaching.
Quick Facts
St. Jude’s is unlike any other school in Waterloo Region! At a glance, this is what sets us apart:

- Helping students for more than 40 years
- Classes are staffed with a teacher and an educational assistant
- Classes size is based on the needs of the students and are generally in the ratio of 3/4/5 students to one instructor
- Although, St. Jude’s recognizes that many children experiencing learning difficulties (i.e. LD, ADD, ASD) experience low self esteem, anxieties and frustrations, St. Jude’s does not accept that physically aggressive, intimidating and or threatening behaviour is intrinsic to these learning difficulties. In most instances these are learned behaviours and will not be tolerated and will result in withdrawal of registration and/or expulsion.
