History
St. Jude Educational Institute was opened in 1938 as a part of The City of St. Jude. Classes were orginally held in the basement of the Church. The school became overcrowded and obviously inadequate to meet the projected needs of a growing west Montgomery. Encouraged by benefactors, who offered either services or financial aid, construction of a new facility began in 1940. Construction was interrupted due to shortages in materials as a result of World War II. In 1946 construction resumed and the school was completed in 1947.

Philosophy
St. Jude Educational Institute serves the educational and spiritual needs of single young men and women in grades seven through twelve integrating faith into daily life, making moral choices, and acting in a manner that respects the rights and dignity of each person. It further serves to educate the student for Christian living in a global society. Students develop their academic abilities, leadership skills, and individual talents so that they may contribute to building a better world. Students are especially mindful of the importance of loving service, concern for the poor, and their witness of hope, founded by a deep faith in God.
