St. James School
School Notes Overview:
St. James School is dedicated to providing a Catholic education rooted in the Gospel message. Our school is in touch with the community, accepting children for who they are, and helping them become all they can be. We seek to help students become aware of God's love for them and to develop a positive and healthy self-concept. Realizing that God created each of us equal in relationship to each other as children of God, but with different gifts, we are compelled by the Gospel to reach out to welcome all children who wish to receive a Christian education that is holistic in its approach. We strive to develop the academic and human relations skills of each student and promote an educational atmosphere that fosters growth in the life of the spirit, the mind, and the body. We work to develop a feeling of confidence, self-esteem, and self-worth in our students, so as to enable them to be creative in the learning process....
