St Jude’s currently educates 1,800 students from Standard 1 to Form 6 across three schools. We are also supporting 100’s of graduates into higher education and providing 30,000+ Tanzanians with quality teaching each year. The addition of the St Jude’s Girls’ Secondary School in January 2020 ensures that we have an even greater impact in fighting poverty through education, with more girls having access to a 100% free, quality education.

 

After the completion of secondary studies, graduates can apply to receive additional support through the Beyond St Jude’s program. We intend for St Jude’s graduates to be respectful, responsible, honest and kind citizens, gainfully employed, capable of trustworthy leadership in local and national contexts, giving back to the school and their communities.

 

In November 2019, we celebrated our first cohort of Beyond St Jude’s tertiary scholars graduating from university. Several of the 24 scholars secured employment in Tanzania soon after completing their Bachelor’s degree. This new milestone demonstrates the tenacity of our students, and their efforts to reach their goals. This, in turn, helps us fulfill the mission and vision of the school.

 

Our team of over 300 local and international staff, together with our international family of supporters, are working hard to ensure that The School of St Jude achieves its status of becoming a Centre of Excellence for teaching and learning in East Africa and a model for fighting poverty through education.

 

The School of St Jude has developed a five-year strategic plan (2019-2023), with seven focus areas, to help implement its vision and mission as well as ensure its long-term sustainability as a charitable organisation.
