​Accreditation

Accredited means to attest to and approve of meeting prescribed standards. In the case of an educational institution, it is recognizing that a school is maintaining standards requisite for graduates to gain admission to other higher levels of education (i.e. high school). St. Jude the Apostle School is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) in conjunction with the Western Catholic Education Association (WCEA).

The longest term of accreditation granted by WASC/ WCEA is 6-years.  At the end of a term, a visiting team consisting of professional educators is assigned to reevaluate a school and make a suggestion for a new term of accreditation for a school. St. Jude the Apostle School was awarded a 6-year term, the highest honor.  St. Jude's next accreditation visit is scheduled for Spring 2020.

The school is accredited by WCEA/WASC and follows the academic standards set by the State of California and is incorporating the Common Core Standards for ELA (English Language Arts) and Mathematics.  The school also has made a strong commitment to integrate technology across the curriculum.  Technology on campus includes:  interactive white boards, document cameras, and a variety of laptop devices.​​
