How Admission Decisions Are Made
St. James' admits new students on the basis of character,
past academic day care or school experience, and assessment
of the child's potential to profit from and contribute to
the life of the School. Among qualified applicants, children
are accepted in the following order: (1) current students
and their siblings (2) pledging parishioners of St. James'
Episcopal Church (3) Priority Registration applicants, and
(4) all others. Registration continues on a rolling basis
until all classes are full. Our commitment to diversity and
desire to maintain an inclusive community, which includes
students and families of all ethnic, economic, religious and
racial backgrounds, is fundamental to our philosophy and mission.
