Happy Summer!

Even as summer vacations are beginning, St. James School is gearing up for the 2010/2011 academic year.  Applications are still being accepted and admission forms can be found in the Vistors section of the website.  Feel free to contact me for a summer school tour!

Summer schedules allow for catching-up with family and friends, leisure reading, family vacations, and time to relax, reflect, and work on your relationship with Jesus.  What are you doing to grow your relationships?

Have an enjoyable and relaxing summer! 

Mrs. Judy Pappas, Principal

Building Bright Futures

A St. James School education prepares students to take the next step. SJS graduates excel at Hersey and Prospect High Schools and gain admission to, and excel, at St. Viator, Loyola Academy, Notre Dame High School, and other selective schools.

...Because of the great education I received at St. James, I am now enrolled at St. Viator and am taking all honors classes...

Test results show that on average SJS 8th graders outscore 8th graders from other area schools. This reflects the bright futures of SJS graduates and the preparation they received.

Faith Comes First

Religious education, religious environment, and weekly mass create a culture of kindness, consideration and self-discipline.

...St. James School is such a wonderful place for our children to learn, share our faith, and create life-long friends...
