At Saint James School we believe that, at every grade level, it is our moral imperative to provide a strong foundation in both Catholic faith formation and academic excellence. We emphasize values that encourage students to accept others rather than exclude them, to understand the difference between right and wrong, and to commit themselves to serve God by serving others. This philosophy challenges our students to improve the world by sharing gospel values and living Christ's message of salvation. Our students grow to understand the roots of their faith and their responsibilities as Christians.
Students participate in a daily prayer program, attend Mass at least once per month, Eucharistic adoration, and quarterly prayer experiences to deepen their relationship with God. Our Hearts on Fire program allows instruction and practice in 12 virtues and, in each grade, students develop and complete a student-driven service project every year.
