Saint Jude Catholic School (SJCS), (simplified Chinese: ; traditional Chinese: ; pinyin: Tiānzhǔjiào Chóng Dé Xuéxiào) is a Roman Catholic private school located in the district of San Miguel in Manila, Philippines, adjacent to Malacañang Palace. The coeducational school, run by the Society of the Divine Word, teaches preparatory, elementary and high school, and is the oldest of the two Judenite institutions in the country. The school draws inspiration from the life and works of the institution's patron saint, Saint Jude Thaddeus. The school was founded by Chinese priests, Rev. Fr. Peter Yang, SVD and Msgr. Peter Tsao, SVD and later joined by Msgr. Tchou who died on November 7, 2008.
The Saint Jude Catholic School campus in the district of San Miguel in Manila is composed of four buildings on a 2.5-hectare (6.2-acre) lot. These include the Prep School Building, the S.J. Building, the Fr. Peter Yang Building and the new Fu Shen Fu Building. The National Shrine of Saint Jude Thaddeus is located within the school's campus.
Sports facilities on campus include a basketball stadium, badminton and volleyball courts, covered courts, ping-pong tables and a gym. The basketball stadium has a seating capability of 1,200 people and a regular-sized court that can be used for sporting events, and other activities. The new Fu Shen Fu Building was finished on December 2006. It houses a volleyball court and three badminton courts, a fully air-conditioned chapel, three computer labs, a dance practice facility, a multipurpose room and also includes the residences of the priests/principals.
