Ed, Arts and Language specialists nurture the whole student. Supported by our community of faculty and parents, our students are prepared to confidently make their mark in the world."
SJA was the first in Mississauga to offer a continuum of education for students aged 3 to 19. Our students’ experience, their stride and their goals will be helped by the care and expertise of faculty and staff. SJA offers a unique education experience that goes beyond academics and provides a careful balance of Student Life. This careful balance has proven to provide lasting, influential and significant changes in the lives of our students.
Our commitment to doing what is best for the student means that we do not automatically conform to the trends of other schools (like using semesters, which are proven to hinder students).
Our commitment to having our teachers really know the students means that teachers need to go above and beyond class time.
Our commitment to resourcefulness and keeping costs low means that we have to get creative in facilities and partnerships to give families more for less.
Our commitment to critical thinking means that we don’t get carried away with one side of a cultural issue or trend.
Our commitment to nonconformity means that our staff and students have to focus on what really matters versus satisfying people’s perceptions.
Our commitment to responsibility means that we risk turning people away who do not want to take ownership of their successes and failures.
Founded in 2006, St. Jude's Academy has grown into a multi-campus institution serving students from 3 to 18 years old. Our ongoing expansion has enabled us to establish separate Lower and High School campuses, just minutes apart. Committed to meeting the evolving needs of our students and families, St. Jude's Academy will continue to grow and adapt to provide the best possible educational experience.

In the caring and vibrant SJA community, students are motivated and guided to take ownership of their intellectual and moral growth and develop the self-esteem and courage. At St. Jude's Academy they will need to deal successfully with the challenges and opportunities that high school and university hold. It is the only school that has a n educational experience designed to inspire and challenge students.
At SJA, the student really does come first above everything else, and it is evident. Our decision-making begins with the question, “Is it good for the student?” The faculty and staff go above and beyond every day to prioritize students’ academics, confidence, strong work ethic, independence and effective learning habits. This personalized approach, delivered in the parameters of the IB programme and in the context of a caring and vibrant community, creates highly motivated students who take ownership of their success.
We have continued to grow steadily at SJA. We have brought in many international IB educators to enhance our IB education. We have added new teachers to accommodate our growth. We have increased our presence on social media as a means of increasing communication and school spirit. We have added new marketing and communications staff. in addition, we have built a whole new High School Campus for our students that best accommodates their education journey and provides them the space to grow in their learning. Lastly, we have placed a new focus on our prep basketball program, balancing education with athletics.
We are excited to announce that as of the fall of 2024, we have added a new 50,000 sq. ft. building right next door at 6745 Century Avenue which houses our high school (Grade 9-12) students. This new facility includes a new Science Lab outfitted in new equipment, Cafeteria, a Performing Arts Studio and a Student Hub. This change has provided space and has made school more comfortable for our JK-Grade 8 students at our main location on Torquay Mews. We are excited to announce that as of Fall 2024 we have renovated our Athletics Dome into the best basketball facility in Southern Ontario. It has three separate basketball courts that can be used for various other applications as well, along with flexible seating for up to 450 spectators. We felt this was a fitting investment for our growing Athletics program and the best prep basketball program in Ontario. Lastly, our brand as a whole has changed to best suit SJA.
