Fees

Annual tuition at Saint Jude Catholic School ranges from PHP 94,848 to PHP 103,940 for 2026/27.

Application fees

- The school does not publish a public, itemised application or registration fee on its publicly accessible admissions or downloads pages; applications are processed through the school's online admissions portal.

Tuition fees (by year group and term)

- A complete per-year-group and per-term fee schedule is not published on the school's public pages. A full breakdown by term and by grade is not available in the school's publicly accessible materials.

Billing schedule and payment terms

- The school's public pages do not provide a detailed billing schedule (for example: per-term, per-semester, or monthly instalment schedule) or the standard payment terms. The admissions process is handled via an online enrolment portal, which is used for applications and continuing-student enrolment.

Boarding fees

- Boarding is not applicable. Saint Jude Catholic School operates as a K–12 basic education day school and does not list boarding accommodation or boarding fees.

Other costs and fees

- Canteen / meal charges: the school publicly published a canteen fee adjustment notice (effective August 1, 2025), confirming the presence of separate meal/canteen charges. The school's public notice contains the canteen fee changes and guidelines.

- Scholarship / financial-aid administration: the school publishes rules and regulations for the Fr. Peter Yang, SVD Scholarship & Financial Assistance Program; that document includes administrative conditions (for example: requirement to reimburse subsidised tuition if an applicant is found to have falsified information). This demonstrates there are separate scholarship procedures and conditions that can affect amounts paid or reimbursed.

- No official, itemised public listing was found for compulsory miscellaneous fees (for example: registration fee, miscellaneous/‘all-inclusive' fees, book fees, laboratory or technology fees), uniform costs, school supplies, or extracurricular fees. Those charges are commonly applied at many schools but are not publicly itemised on the school's downloadable materials or admissions pages.

Refund information

- The school's publicly posted scholarship rules include an explicit clause requiring reimbursement of subsidised tuition and interest where an award was obtained through falsified or withheld information; however, there is no separate, public, comprehensive refund policy or general tuition-refund schedule posted for normal withdrawals or fee refunds.

Fee payment options

- The school uses an online enrolment/admissions portal for applications and continuing-student processing. Public pages do not list an official set of accepted payment methods (for example: bank transfer, credit card acceptance, or local e-wallets) nor a named third-party tuition-management provider on the public pages. Payment method details and the available payment channels are not publicly itemised.

Junior High School (Grades 7–10) uses the Enhanced K-to-12 curriculum and includes MAPEH and a Chinese program; Senior High School adds electives and maintains the Chinese program. The IBDP comprises six subject groups—Language and Literature, Language Acquisition, Individuals and Societies, Sciences, Mathematics, and The Arts—plus core components Creativity, Activity and Service, Extended Essay, and Theory of Knowledge, with modular subjects including Chinese, Filipino and Values Education. Across levels, instruction supports bilingual/multilingual competencies in English, Mandarin and Filipino, and the school emphasizes Filipino-Chinese heritage within a Catholic framework.
