Saint James School prides itself on following the Catholic tradition in education excellence. Based in a Christian atmosphere, your child will experience positive growth academically, spiritually, morally, and socially. Religion is a fundamental component of their education, but being Catholic is not a prerequisite. Our prerequisites are to have both a willingness to learn and a positive attitude. Students of many different religious denominations make Saint James their school, and their exposure to the Catholic faith adds to their life experiences.

School Reviews:

  • Recommended February 14,2013 - SJS is an outstanding institution... caring faculty, supportive, nurturing environment, & top notch academics. We LOVE this school!*-Posted by Parent *
  • Recommended October 27,2012 - This is our first year at St James and I cannot begin to tell you what an amazing experience this has been! It''s not just a school, it''s a community - my kids'' (grades 2 & 3) classmates welcomed them with open arms and helped ease their transition to a new school. We transferred from a smaller parochial school in town and we are blown away with the level of education St James offers. This was what I always expected from a parochial or private school. My 2nd grader is learning techniques for test prep through highlighting and testing! Wow! My 3rd grader is taking Spanish (in addition to our family''s native language outside of school) - the instructor has high expectations, but we expect nothing else. The other parents have welcomed us into the community and we can see where the children have learned their compassion. Mrs. Kanute, the principal, greets every child by name in the morning and makes sure they make it safely to the playground. It''s wonderful to see her so involved on a personal level. We are happy to see what more is in store for us! :)*-Posted by Parent *
