• Tuition

Accreditation is the recognition accorded by the academic profession to an elementary school that has undertaken a sanctioned process of evaluation and development. It is an expression of confidence by the profession that the quality of the school is effectively and progressively managed by its faculty.

St. Jude was granted accreditation in the Assembly of Elementary Schools Middle States Association as of October, 1987. The standards are established by the Middle States Association of Colleges and Schools and administered by the Commission on Elementary Schools, one of the three accreditation authorities under the auspices of the Association.

Accredited schools such as St. Jude meet the following standards:

• Define appropriate educational goals and provide educational programs to achieve them
• Maintain a qualified faculty and an effective school organization
• Assess outcomes of school experience and control the quality of educational programs
• Respond to concerns of parents and needs of the school community
• Provide for the continuity of its programs and plan for their future
• Describe with accuracy the content of its services and programs

As with all accreditation processes under the auspices of the Middle States Association, this is an on-going process. St. Jude actively participates and supports this continuing effort to maintain its high rating.
