Success at St. Jude's School is contingent upon three assumptions. First, each student accepted into the school is of average or above intelligence. Second, he or she would benefit from our help. Third, the student wants our help. This last assumption is based on the student making his or her own decision to become a St. Jude's student. There are other factors, however, which demonstrate each student's continued desire to accept our help, i.e....
