The SJA Difference

Since our inception in 2006, St. Jude’s Academy has quickly become the leading private university preparatory and IB World School in Mississauga. We consistently offer superior learning and student life experiences, making us the top choice for students from Junior Kindergarten to Grade 12. Our IB programs 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 physical education, the arts and languages, who care for each and every student. This individualized and hands-on approach to learning is proven to develop students who are not only poised for post-secondary success but who are independent, able to think critically and empowered to solve problems for themselves in an increasingly complex world.

Our Kids Perspective

SJA, notably an IB World School in Mississauga, offers the entire IB continuum for their students: PYP, MYP, and DP. Being a JK to Grade 12 school, families feel confident in knowing their child is at a school that will support them for their whole educational journey. St. Jude’s Academy emphasizes education as its core value, along with student life engagements, and athletics. SJA prides itself in encouraging its students to be global learners, communicators, and citizens; promoting diversity and inclusivity.

The SJA culture is commonly described as “familial,” as their close-knit community thrives in encouraging one another for growth and success. SJA stands out in many ways as education is taken far beyond the classroom. Although students actively take part in their scheduled exams and class time, learning at SJA also happens through local and national field trips, student life activities, and more.

At St. Jude’s Academy, we prioritize fostering a traditional learning environment rooted in timeless values and academic excellence. Our focus is on instilling a strong foundation of knowledge, critical thinking, and character development. We embrace a classical approach to education, cherishing the rich heritage of wisdom that has stood the test of time and steering clear of passing trends and ideologies.

St. Jude’s Academy has also succeeded at cultivating a rare sense of family within our community. At our school, kindergarten students don’t just know their peers—they know high school seniors. Our teachers don’t just know their own students—they get to know all of the students in the school. St. Jude’s Academy is a welcoming, warm and diverse family that values every unique individual—a place where everyone has a voice, from parents and faculty down to our youngest students. That’s what makes it feel like home.

We look forward to meeting you and we welcome you to be a part of our growing St. Jude’s Academy family.
