Why SJES

Content Column Image

Saint James' Episcopal School (SJES) is an independent school located in Warrenton, Virginia. We offer intentionally small classes in preschool 2 through grade 5 in a nurturing, faith-based environment. Our goal is to equip students with the skills to do well and the moral compass to do good.

Preschool (Ages 2-5)

Saint James' preschool provides a loving and nurturing environment to help our youngest learners develop social-emotional skills and achieve developmental milestones. We encourage and provide opportunities for play as an important means of building skills, promoting healthy self-images, and instilling a love of learning.

Beyond the Classroom

Sometimes the most important lessons happen outside of the classroom. In addition to our core academic program, we offer programs to support our mission of nurturing the whole child. These programs take place in-school and out-of-school, providing hands-on experiences that enrich classroom learning and expand horizons.
