Empowering talent: This is the CASE-V program at STJ

10-08-2025

At International St. Jude School, we believe that talent deserves to be nurtured, guided, and valued.

What is the CASE-V program?
The name CASE-V represents our commitment to excellence: Culture, Arts, Academics, and Sports – VIKINGS Eligibility Program.
It is designed to offer comprehensive support to students who excel in different disciplines, allowing them to develop fully without sacrificing their academic training.
Currently, 15% of our student population is part of CASE-V, demonstrating our focus on personalized training and talent development.

Support that drives
CASE-V students receive specific benefits that allow them to balance their school responsibilities with their external commitments:
Adapted schedules and flexible curricula, adjusted to training, competitions, or artistic activities.
Supervised study times and dedicated spaces in the CASE-V Lounge, where they can work independently.
Specialized support from trained staff who understand the needs of students with demanding schedules.
A solid academic system that ensures their active participation in the school community while they develop their talents.
Each letter of the name CASE-V embodies the values we promote in our students:

Vikings, Values, Veracity, Versatility, Vigor, Virtuosity, Vision, and Vitality.
These are not just words: they are pillars that define how we shape capable individuals with integrity who are committed to their goals and their environment.

Education that transcends the classroom
Being part of CASE-V not only means having more tools at your disposal, but also acquiring essential life skills: organization, discipline, responsibility, and perseverance.
At STJ, we understand that education also means opening doors for those who dream big and are willing to work hard to achieve their goals.
