St. James/Seton Catholic School has provided quality Catholic education in Omaha, NE since 1965.
Our school system educates about 700 students each year in a value based, Christ-centered environment.
SJS promotes faith formation, academic excellence and service learning experiences for all students.
At St. James/Seton Catholic School, students celebrate their Catholic faith as an integral part of our school environment.
We foster a Catholic culture dedicated to the following commitments: ' Catholic Christian dedication to faith formation ' High expectations for students and faculty ' Challenging and stimulating curriculum ' Preparing students for success in adult life ' Inclusive and nurturing environment ' Caring, passionate and welcoming staff and students.
Saint James/Seton School is committed to providing a safe and
nurturing learning environment in which our students can receive a
quality, faith-filled Catholic education. In partnership with the
Christian family community, we aim to develop each student's full
academic potential and strive to teach the Gospel message in order
to share it with the world. All that the school provides is meant
to complement the efforts of parents in providing similar faith
development experiences at home. When both the family and the
school community make continuous efforts to assist students in the
formation of their faith, students grow in and become committed to
their faith. The Church is strengthened in its mission of
proclaiming the Gospel. We ask that you continue your efforts in
faith development and continue to model for your children the
discipleship of Christ. Your own commitment to prayer, to the
Eucharistic liturgy, to the Sacrament of Reconciliation, to service
of others, and to compassion and assistance to those in need, will
form your children in practices that will enable them to deepen
their relationship with God. St. James/Seton School's mission is to
provide the best Christ-centered education possible for each child.
In order to accomplish this, there must be a concentrated,
cooperative effort between the parent(s) and the school. The
school's curriculum guides students in their expected knowledge and
skill development. Teachers provide instructional experiences and
guidance to assist students in mastering the material. Teachers
also know that diligence and self-discipline are essential to
academic success and the full realization of each student's
potential. They expect diligence and self-discipline on the part of
each student. Parents who expect diligence and self-discipline of
their children, who require development of good study habits,
well-done assignments, and supplementary reading, greatly enhance
their children's academic achievement. We ask that you continue to
expect from your children these high standards. Together, we can
best prepare them for, not only the world they face, but the world
they live in now.

We have been attending St. James Seton for 5 years now, with two children in the school, and have enjoyed every minute of the community. SJS prides itself on strong faith-based education, and as a whole the school always scores in the top tier for standardized tests to prepare for the next level. The teachers, principal, and families have great pride in the school, and it shows. When you attend an SJS event outside of school hours, you will always see multiple levels of grades interacting and playing together. It is so neat to see 6th graders interacting and including younger students in non-formal settings as if they are all best friends.
