St. James Lutheran School

St. James number one asset, by far, is the way in which the community of families show up to support the total organization (school & church). It''s a ''home'' where parents of current or future students, can expect an elite education, delivered by leaders (leadership, staff, & teachers) who truly care & are invested in your children, imbedded in a Christian worldview perspective, and all wrapped into a growth mindset. St. James is also a place you can have a ''real'' conversation with your Pastor, challenge your Principal (and she''ll listen), and engage in authentically fun social experiences. It''s a tough place to beat.

If you are looking for a school with excellent academics and a welcoming, supportive community, I highly recommend considering St. James for your family. We joined in 2020, during the pandemic, having never heard of the school before. Although St. James is not widely known, our experience has been truly remarkable.We were initially nervous about changing schools, but we felt instantly welcomed by both the staff and other families. Our children made friends quickly and have loved being part of this community from the beginning-they never wanted to leave. My spouse and I also made meaningful connections with several families, and we have not regretted our decision for a moment.We truly love being part of this community, and it has been very satisfying to see that our big decision to change schools ended up being one of the best decisions we have made for our family. Please feel free to reach out if you'd like to know more about our experience. I would be happy to answer any questions and share more about why St. James could be a great fit for your family.

This is our fifth year at St. James, and we are really happy with our experience. Our kids have built strong relationships with their classmates, teachers, and the entire St. James staff. The school's commitment to supporting the whole person gives us confidence in the education and experiences are children are receiving. This year is particularly exciting with new investments in facilities, extracurricular activities, and educational and emotional enrichment programs. We expect our family to stay in this community long term.

We have 3 children at St. James currently who all started in Pre-K. I love how connected the younger students become with the older students and the entire school is so welcoming across all the grade levels. I love the community- the parents, kids and teachers all support and encourage each other. It truly is a special place that can be hard to find in a big city .
