We're Glad You're Here

After spending two decades in the Admissions department at a rapidly-growing Oakville school, I am delighted to join the energetic team at St. Jude’s Academy. I am so impressed by what I see here at SJA.

The teachers are vibrant and innovative, and there is a distinct creative buzz in the air. The elementary campus is filled with joyful children, each one unique and anxious to participate in all that surrounds them. The high school environment is more studious, with highly competent IB educators and dozens of extra-curricular activities offering opportunities for new learning and leadership.

Please request a tour of either of our campuses – or both. I am confident that the Admissions team will be happy to answer your questions, show you our school and guide you through our streamlined admissions process.

Application Process

We have a two-step Admissions process to ensure a thorough exploration of St. Jude’s Academy!

We begin with a personalized virtual information session, offering a comprehensive overview of our IB Programme and Student Life Department. After this session, we extend an invitation for you to embark on a personalized tour of our St. Jude’s Academy campus – you will be able to experience our classrooms in session, engage with our dedicated teachers, and ask questions.

We eagerly anticipate the opportunity to welcome you to the St. Jude’s Academy family!

For students in grades 1-8, based on the review of their 2 most recent final report cards, an assessment in reading, writing and math may be required to give us a better understanding of their strengths and opportunities. 

Grades 9-12, reports cards, transcripts and teacher references will be used to determine whether an applicate is a good fit for our rigorous IB programmes. 

We also ask for the following: 

  1. For Upper School students (Grades 9 to 12): English, Science or Social Studies teacher reference
  2. For Upper School students (Grades 9 to 12): Math teacher reference
  3. Report Cards for SK – Grade 8

Please scan (or take clear pictures with your phone) the two most recent Report Cards for your child. 

During the summer, as schools are closed, Teacher References are not required for new registrations for the September 2024 start date. We will be reviewing report cards to assess suitability for our academic program.  

Upper School (Grades 9 to 12) students’ Teacher Reference forms must be submitted from the teachers to the Admissions Office email (admissions@stjudesacademy.ca) directly. 

Please submit supporting documents by emailing them to our Admissions Team at admissions@stjudesacademy.ca. 

Admission decisions are made based on a careful review of the applicant’s report cards, academic potential, extracurricular accomplishments, character, and overall suitability for the IB St. Jude’s Academy experience. 

Please let us know if your child has any academic, social or behavioural concerns. Learning support is available. Our Guidance Counsellor continues to assess student cases as needed. 

Once your Report Cards are assessed, and we believe that your child would be a good fit for St. Jude’s Academy, we will invite you to complete and submit our Registration Package electronically. This package is available on our website by grade on our Tuition and Fees page, linked below, and or will be sent to you on completion of the Information Session. 

Detailed payment options are in the Registration Package. 

Welcome to St. Jude’s Academy! We look forward to meeting you soon!
