我們不同。作為米西索加領先的非宗派大學預科 IB 私立學校，我們的畢業生備受追捧。第一個完全認可的IB 小學課程（JK-6 年級）、中學課程（7-10 年級）和文憑課程（11-12 年級）強調基礎知識和有效的學習習慣，導致我們的畢業生100% 被錄取他們選擇的大學。他們成功的背後是強大的家長群體和 IB 世界領導者教師隊伍，其中包括物理學專家。 Ed，藝術和語言，關心每一個學生。這種個人化的學習方法鼓勵學生批判性思考、解決問題和自我探究。聖裘德學院的畢業生具備在大學和生活中取得優異成績所需的技能，並受到啟發，自信地在世界上留下自己的印記。在我們的課堂上，學生參與實踐活動，豐富他們的理解，並且隨時可以獲得獨特的個人化支持。
在聖裘德學院，我們優先考慮培養有效的學習習慣、信心、強烈的職業道德和獨立性。小班制授課培養個人化的學習方法，這意味著我們的學生在為大學做準備時可以獲得全面的支援。我們致力於確保學生的成功，並確保他們在畢業後繼續取得成功。畢業生離開聖裘德學院時，將擁有終身受益的技能，使他們能夠順利過渡到大學及以後的生活。
我們相信學術嚴謹只是學生成功的一部分。學生的福祉對我們很重要，它在健康學習習慣、自尊和動力的發展中發揮著重要作用。豐富的課程有時會變得要求很高——我們會調整學習節奏，以確保學生在學習新概念之前對自己的能力充滿信心。除了強大的學術技能外，學生還將學到重要的價值觀，這將有助於他們從道德、負責任的角度看待生活的起起落落。
我們的學生也參加媒體藝術課程。本課程重點在於全球通訊和資訊對科技（包括社交媒體）快速成長的依賴。聖裘德學院認識到，對於年輕人來說，擁有相關的現代世界技能對於在我們不斷變化的科技文化中駕馭自己是多麼重要。
IB 文憑課程 (DP) 是一項學術嚴謹的課程，旨在幫助 16 至 19 歲的學生為進入大學做好準備。透過專注於學生的學業、人際互動和整個生活，我們的計畫培養多才多藝、富有愛心的年輕人，激勵他們利用自己獨特的優勢和才能為世界做出貢獻。 IB 文憑課程受到世界領先大學的認可，畢業生備受追捧，因為該文憑為學生積極參與全球不斷發展的社會做好了準備。
文憑課程有六個主要學習領域。所有被授權教授 DP 課程的學校都有類似的結構，但由於其規模和學生的興趣，可能會提供不同的科目。學生從每個學習領域選擇一門科目——三門高級（ HL）科目，相當於兩年內的三個學分，三門標準水平（SL）科目，相當於一年或兩年內的兩個學分。然後，他們還要在兩年內參加兩個學期的知識理論 (TOK)課程，完成擴展論文並完成他們的創造力、活動、服務 (CAS)職責。所有課程均在文憑課程的兩年內教授。

We’re different. As the leading nondenominational, university preparatory IB private school in Mississauga, our graduates are highly sought after. The first fully accredited IB Primary Years Programme (JK-Grade 6), Middle Years Programme (Grades 7-10) and Diploma Programme (Grades 11-12) emphasize fundamentals and effective learning habits, resulting in 100% of our graduates being accepted into the university of their choice. Behind their success is a strong community of parents and a faculty of IB World leaders, including specialists in Phys. Ed, the Arts and languages, who care for each and every student. This individualized approach to learning encourages students to think critically, problem-solve and inquire for themselves. St. Jude’s Academy graduates are equipped with the skills they need to excel in university and in life, and are inspired to confidently make their mark in the world. In our classrooms, students participate in hands-on activities that enrich their understanding and unique, personalized support is always readily available.
At St. Jude’s Academy, we prioritize the development of effective learning habits, confidence, strong work ethic and independence. Smaller classes foster a personal, individualized approach to learning, meaning that our students receive comprehensive support in preparation for university. We are dedicated to ensuring our students’ success, as well as ensuring that they continue to succeed after their time here. Graduates leave St. Jude’s Academy with lifelong skills under their belt, allowing them a smooth transition into university and beyond.
We believe that academic rigour is just one part of a student’s success. Student wellbeing matters to us, and it plays a large role in the development of healthy learning habits, self-esteem and motivation. Enriched curricula can sometimes become demanding — we pace learning to make sure that students are confident in their abilities before proceeding to new concepts. Along with strong academic skills, students are taught important values that will help them approach the ups and downs of life from an ethical, responsible perspective.
Our students also take a class dedicated to Media Arts. This class focuses on the rapidly growing dependence on technology, including social media, for global communication and information. St. Jude’s Academy recognizes how important it is for young adults to have relevant, modern-world skills to navigate themselves in our ever-changing technological culture.
The IB Diploma Programme (DP) is an academically rigorous program that prepares students aged 16 to 19 for university. By tending to students’ academic, interpersonal, whole lives, our program develops multi-talented, caring young people who are inspired to contribute good to the world using their unique strengths and talents. The IB Diploma Programme is recognized by the world’s leading universities, and graduates are highly sought after as the diploma prepares students for active participation in a globally evolving society.
The Diploma Programme has six main areas of study. All schools authorized to teach the DP have a similar structure, but may have different subject offerings due to their size and interests of the students. Students choose one subject from each area of study — three at the higher level (HL), which amounts to three credits over two years, and three at the standard level (SL), which amounts to two credits over one or two years. They then also take the theory of knowledge (TOK) class for two terms over two years, complete the extended essay and complete their Creativity, Activity, Service (CAS) responsibilities. All courses are taught over the two years of the Diploma Programme.
The Three Core Elements:
The Six Subject Groups:
GROUP 1: Language and Literature HL – compulsory English credits
GROUP 2: Language Acquisition – French SL
GROUP 3: Individuals and Societies, History of the Americas HL, Business Management HL
GROUP 4: Sciences – Biology HL & SL, Chemistry HL & SL, Physics SL
GROUP 5: Mathematics – Analysis and Approaches SL, Application and Interpretation SL
GROUP 6: Arts and Electives – one SL choice from the above subjects.
For International Students:
GROUP 1: Mandarin Language and Literature HL (taught over 2 years)
GROUP 2: English SL = English 4U credit (taught in Year 2 of the program)
