Philosophy.

St. James' Episcopal School fosters the Episcopal traditions of service, compassion and respect. Our foundation, a love that honors the goodness and unique gifts of every child, supports a comprehensive academic program in a nurturing and challenging environment that encourages creativity and curiosity. In fulfilling these promises, we transform everyday students into life-long learners.

We provide a rich scholastic and spiritual experience from which all students may prosper. Each child's God-given talents are nurtured while maintaining a challenging and well-rounded curriculum incorporating spirituality, intellect, and the arts. Our supportive St. James' community inspires a love of God in a safe environment that promotes service, both locally and globally. Through an understanding of the spiritual nature of God, we empower our children to meet any challenge; inspire them to seek knowledge and promote fairness; and instill in them the compassion and grace necessary to lead and serve.

We cultivate a traditional academic program through a theme-based curriculum and whole-child approach. Our aim is to appreciate and promote the needs of family and community, while celebrating the diversity that defines us. Honoring the heritage of our past as a means to embrace the challenges of the future constitutes the dynamic balance of our daily routine. We seek to educate children to live with genuine meaning, purpose, and service in the world they are to inherit.
