About the School

  • Importantly, Episcopal schools are diverse ministries of educational and spiritual formation which welcome people of all religious, cultural, and economic backgrounds.
  • At St. James, we value faculty and students of diverse heritages and customs because we believe St. James is strengthened by unique and diverse perspectives.
