Excellent Minds. Exceptional Hearts

OUR PHILOSOPHY

Saint James School is an integral part of Saint James Parish. The school and parish collaborate in passing on the Catholic faith and proclaiming the Good News of the Gospel. Our community seeks to nurture the students’ relationship with and reverence for God. Acknowledging the intrinsic worth of each child, our community endeavors to create an environment which promotes excellent minds and exceptional hearts in our students. We also value the need for our students to become faith-filled responsible citizens who can contribute positively to the world. Students are encouraged to be of service, to recognize and respect diversity; and to grow in awareness of justice as found in the Catholic Social Teaching.
