Our school population is approximately 500 students, kindergarten through 8th grade. There are two homerooms in grades K – 5, 7 & 8, and three homerooms in grade 6. The class size for kindergarten is 24 and 26 for 1st grade. Generally there are 28 students in each of the 2 – 5 classrooms. Middle School class sizes vary from 24 to 30. We draw students from a large area including Sandy Springs, Dunwoody, Chamblee, Atlanta, Roswell, Marietta, Alpharetta, and as far north as Cumming.

All students are instructed in the core curriculum, which includes: religion, reading, literature, grammar, spelling, writing, mathematics, science, and social studies. In addition, all students receive instruction in the enrichment programs, which include: art, computer science, music, physical education, and Spanish.

Students are offered, and encouraged to embrace, additional activities and leadership opportunities. Some of these include the Student Council, Drama Club, Safety Patrol, Life Teen Band, Altar Servers, Oratorical Competition, Math IXL, Odyssey of the Mind, and Future City.

Together with the family, the faculty and staff provide an atmosphere for moral development. Christian values, our Catholic beliefs and traditions, and a spirit of cooperation are the cornerstones of our program. Saint Jude the Apostle Catholic School is dedicated to the formation of students willing and able to serve God and the world by providing the guidance and instruction necessary to motivate students toward goals commensurate with their abilities.
