St. James Episcopal Day School is dedicated to the concept of a traditional yet innovative curriculum with developmental emphasis presented in a warm, loving, Christian environment.
At St. James, our predominate goal is to reinforce Christian values, and God-given dignity and individuality of each child as expressed through Anglican tradition. Within this framework, we stress the pursuit of academic excellence, the development of self-esteem, the respect for all individuals, and the skills necessary for healthy and creative living within a community of faith and as a good citizen in society.
Our philosophy encourages development in emotional well being as well as excellence in academics. At St. James we focus on the whole child through the following objectives:
- We encourage the unique gifts of each child.
- We offer guidance to each child in a Christian environment to
encourage spiritual formation. We encourage academic excellence, while
nurturing individual potential in each student.
- We seek a diverse student body, encouraging the enrollment of children of all races, cultures and religious backgrounds.
- We offer scholarship programs for those who would otherwise be unable to attend St. James Episcopal Day School.
