What is the school’s mission and philosophy? St. James Episcopal Day School is committed to developing each child’s unique gifts by providing a strong foundation combining academic excellence and spiritual formation within a warm, loving, Christian community.
How does the school differentiate itself from other private schools in the area? As the only 12-month through 5th-grade school in our area, and a 7-to-1 student-to-faculty ratio, knowing each child well allows us to offer unique, personalized experiences where every student thrives.
What are the core values that guide the school community? Our program focuses on strong core academics, integrated project work, robust enrichment offerings, and the social and emotional skills that result in success. #LoveLearnLead
What extracurricular activities and clubs are available? The school’s emphasis on project-based learning taps into students’ interests and gives them an opportunity to be valued contributors in their school community since they guide the projects they undertake.
How does the school foster a sense of community among students? St. James creates a vibrant community through many cherished events including weekly church services, Fall Carnival, Gingerbread Day, Family Movie Night, and countless traditions bringing parents, children, and faculty together.
How can parents get involved in the school community? Our Pelican Parents Organization and Dads Club host many of our special events. Parents are invited to attend church services and enjoy their children singing, offering the prayers, or acolyting.
