At St. Jude’s Academy of the Arts, we are honored to serve families through our special needs day program for ages 18 and up, and are continuing to find ways to assist our differently abled clients to grow and receive the best care possible. We provide all clients with an inclusive opportunity to interact and collaborate with able youth in a variety of artistic, academic and social activities. This provides each client with a smooth transition from the familiarity of the high school program to the world of the adult; thus illustrating our Motto which is “We Can Live as One”

We pride ourselves in teaching our clients how to adapt in everyday activities, in and out of our program. We offer our clients Literacy, Arts and Crafts, Music, Drama, job skills and integration retreats.

We foster the growth and development of body, mind and soul of all who attend. Our staff assists in the development of life skills and independence by leading classes in cooking, money management, computer skills, and facilitating group discussions.
