This week Saint James School is joining our peers from across the region in celebrating the many benefits of Catholic education. Each day this week we will highlight here, and on our social media pages, one of the many pieces that we feel makes Saint James School an exceptional choice for today’s learners! We love our Catholic school!
Day 4: Exceptional Curriculum
Saint James School offers students an accelerated, comprehensive, and traditionally-based curriculum in a safe, fun, and respectful environment.
Interwoven into daily lessons is an emphasis on strengthening our relationship with God, forming healthy relationships with peers, being a good role model, and cultivating leadership skills. Catholic school teachers and administration prioritize the success of every child entrusted to their care and work closely with families to help students reach their full potential.
And, while our philosophy at Saint James School is not to teach for the sake of a test – but to instead develop well-educated, compassionate, critical thinkers – our students consistently score well above their grade-level benchmark on standardized tests.

Day 3: Community
Families seek out a Catholic school education for their children because they want the values taught at home to be witnessed and reinforced at school. United by our shared beliefs and aspirations for the children entrusted into our care each day, we view our role as educators as an important vocation. We work closely with the families we serve to strengthen students’ faith and confidence, providing a strong foundation throughout their formative years.
At Saint James School our community is rooted in a long-standing tradition of excellence, with many of our enrolled students being the second or third generation in their family to attend. Parents are actively involved in their child’s education and many families find wonderful, lasting friendships during their time with us.
