How to Apply
Does my child need to be Screened ?
  • Yes. To be considered for admission to St. James Episcopal Day School, we want to meet you and your child.  We also want to administer age-appropriate assessments to determine if St. James is the best fit. Small group screening dates are scheduled in the fall.  During the spring semester, screenings are scheduled individually with the family.  The screening fee is paid at the time of application.
  • Parents will be contacted after submitting their online application to schedule a screening appointment.
  • Pre-K and Kindergarten students are given a basic skills assessment to determine a child’s readiness. The assessment lasts about 45 minutes.
  • Applicants applying for 1st–5th grade are screened individually and are assessed in math, reading, and writing.
When do you schedule tours?
Pate tours or online tours can be scheduled at any time using this link. In the fall, St. James hosts an Open House event, which will be announced through our social media platforms and website. 

Is tuition assistance available?
