Nationally & Locally Recognized For Excellence

Saint James School students consistently score well above grade level on standardized tests, with yearly gains made by each group of students exceeding expected progress.  In 2025, Saint James School was honored as a CAPE Blue Ribbon School of Excellence in the Exemplary High Performing category!

Kindergarten – 8th Grade Program

Saint James School has been a leading choice for educating children in Manchester and surrounding towns since it first opened its doors in 1922.  Many changes have happened at the school since then, but the basic principles that have turned generations of Saint James graduates into compassionate, disciplined, critical thinkers have not.

Pre-Kindergarten Program

Saint James School offers a comprehensive Pre-K program in a nurturing Christian environment. As part of the Saint James community, children have an enriching experience that includes various opportunities to be part of what they fondly refer to as “the big school.” It’s a unique environment that cannot be found elsewhere.
