ST. JUDE’S ACADEMY
At St. Jude’s Academy, we believe in prioritizing students’ physical and mental well-being above all else, and keeping them active is just one of the ways that we show our dedication to overall student success.
Our Grade 7 to 10 students participate in Physical Education classes every other day for 1 hour 20 minutes. Our Upper School Physical Education classes take place at the state-of-the-art Wynn Fitness facilities and Dome, just steps away from our main building. (Learn more about these premier fitness facilities, below.)
A variety of sports are offered as intramural sports, House activities and field days. These activities encourage students to enjoy athleticism and extend their athletic pursuits beyond the school environment. Our Upper School students in Grades 7 to 8 have the opportunity to golf, curl, ski, boulder, skate and experience outdoor education throughout the year, becoming proficient in fun, exciting sports that transcend the typical gym class.
Grades 11 and 12 do not have formal Physical Education classes, but continue to be involved in sports through intramural, House and sports clubs.
In addition to the state-of-the-art facilities for physical education classes, intramural and sports clubs, all of our students receive the added benefit of membership/access to Wynn Fitness facilities and Dome.

St. Jude’s Academy is a member of the Small School Athletic Federation (SSAF). With the SSAF, the school participates in competitive team sports, including soccer, basketball, volleyball and track. Their mandate is to provide girls and boys with the opportunity to participate in a variety of activities at a higher level of skill than generally found in the intramural program. The SSAF also encourages students to participate in activities in a climate of fair play and sportsmanship, with the ultimate goal of enabling them to lead socially able and physically fit lives outside of the educational environment.
St. Jude’s Academy students have exceptional opportunities when it comes to athletics. Our fully-equipped Athletic Centre (AC) and Dome, located just up the street from our main building, are used for Physical Education classes, extracurriculars and more. Many Upper School students visit the Dome weekly for Phys. Ed. classes, as per their class schedule, or at various times throughout the year for special events like track & field. Students are conveniently bussed to and from the Dome and Athletic Centre where they can enjoy state-of-the-art facilities complete with multiple full-size basketball and volleyball courts, an indoor swimming pool and the Wynn Fitness Club gym and weight room. These impressive facilities have a major impact on the quality of programs we are able to offer, making SJA one of the best-equipped private schools in the GTA for athletics.
