Saint Jude Catholic School is a Roman Catholic Private High School located in Malacanang in the district of San Miguel in Manila, run by the Society of the Divine Word. It is the oldest campus of Saint Jude Catholic School, a system composed of 2 Judenite institutions in the Philippines. The high school draws inspiration from the life and works of the institution's founder, Saint Jude Thaddeus.

It is one of the few basic education institutions in the Philippines to receive a 5-year accreditation, the highest possible level, for both the Grade School and the High School from the Philippine Accrediting Association of Schools, Colleges, and Universities. It received its eleventh re-accreditation since, on September 7, 2007.

It is one of the most respected and prestigious Filipino-Chinese high schools in Asia. The current School Director is Rev. Fr. Jerome A. Marquez and is currently serving his fourth term.

History

Saint Jude Catholic School was opened in July 1963 by Fr. Peter Yang, SVD. While immersing himself with work among the parishioners of St. Jude Parish where he served as assistant parish priest in the late 50s, Fr. Yang saw the need to reach out to the Chinese community and shepherd them into God's fold.
