I just wanted to take a moment to share how fantastic this school has been to my daughters. My 2nd youngest daughter, Melissa, went through the public school system with undiagnosed special needs and by grade 7 she was on the verge of failing out.  She dropped through so many cracks in the system because of her quiet, unassuming nature. I brought her to St. Jude’s / Scholars Hall and I am totally amazed at her transformation!  The teachers and staff took the time to get to know her, and taught her the skills that she was lacking.  It’s by no means an easy school – they expect the kids to work hard; but they recognize the kids’ efforts and reward them often.  Melissa will be graduating this year without a lap year and is applying to university for the fall!  5 years ago I worried if she would even make it through high school.My youngest daughter also attends and through she doesn’t have the same challenges as Melissa, I am confident that she too will be applying to university after grade 12.I am forever grateful to Fred, Bonnie, Cheryl and the rest of the amazing staff and teachers at SJSH for their commitment to providing all their students with the same high quality education. I could never thank them enough.  They have definitely made a difference 🙂
