Service to
Society.

St. Jude's School has taught in Ghana since 1972 — over fifty years of it. Today that is 180 learners from KG 2 through to JHS 3, with 15 teachers, around twelve learners to a class. The words on our crest are Service to Society, and they are the point of the whole exercise.

Why we're different

Service to Society.
Since 1972.

Those four words sit on our crest, and they set the test we hold ourselves to: a learner leaves here able to do something useful for the people around them. Underneath it are class sizes small enough to notice a learner, and reporting detailed enough that a parent can see precisely where their child stands, subject by subject.

Fifteen teachers, 180 learners
Twelve to a class

Proficiency levels are set per section, so KG is never judged on a JHS scale.

1
Seen

180 learners and 15 teachers — roughly twelve to a class. Small enough that a teacher notices the day a learner goes quiet, and small enough to do something about it.

2
Measured

Class tests carry 50% of the term mark and the end-of-term exam the other 50%. Alongside them we record mid-term assessments and project work, so one bad morning never decides a term.

3
Ranked subject by subject

We report a position in each subject, not just one overall place in the class. A learner who is third in Mathematics and twentieth in English should be told exactly that.

4
Reported twice over

Every report card carries a class teacher’s remark and a head teacher’s remark. Two people who know the learner have to put their name to how the term went.

“Twelve learners to a teacher. That is the whole idea.”

— St. Jude's School

Programs

Ages 1 to 15.
One school, four stages.

Each program builds on the last. Learners don't have to adjust to a new school every few years — they grow up here.

All programs
Stage 01
Creche
1 – 3 yrs

Lots of sensory play, singing, and practical life stuff — pouring water, buttoning shirts. They learn by doing, and they love it.

Sensory bins & outdoor play
Basic independence skills
Language through songs & stories
Stage 02
Preschool
3 – 5 yrs

This is where the learning materials really come alive. Learners choose their work, build concentration, and start reading and counting on their own terms.

Maths & language
Cultural studies
Art & music exploration
Stage 03
Kindergarten
5 – 6 yrs

The bridge year. Reading becomes fluent, maths gets more abstract, and learners start working on group projects that teach collaboration.

Reading fluency
Problem-solving projects
Early science experiments
Stage 04
Primary & JHS
6 – 15 yrs

Independent research, deeper thinking, and real responsibility. By the time learners finish JHS 3, they know how to learn — not just what to memorise.

Research-based learning
Leadership opportunities
GES-aligned curriculum

All programs aligned with the Ghana Education Service (GES) curriculum.

Our Graduation Ceremony

A milestone moment for learners finishing JHS 3 — and for the recognition handed out along the way.

A Day to Remember

Graduation closes JHS 3 — the end of nine years for learners who joined us in KG 2. Families, teachers and the community come together to send them on.

Where The Work Happens

Every learner gets time on a machine of their own. Because we rank each subject separately rather than only overall, the learner who comes alive in ICT is seen for it, whatever their position in the class.

The class is small enough that his teacher actually knows him. When he started falling behind in English we heard about it in weeks, not at the end of term. That alone was worth the move.

What I appreciate most is the report card. It gives her position in each subject, not one overall place, so we can see she is strong in Science and needs help in Maths. Both her teacher and the head teacher sign off on it.

We started her here in KG 2 and never had a reason to move her. Knowing she can go right through to JHS 3 with teachers who already know her took a real weight off us.
