academics

the st. james' difference

This is my second time around at St. James’, and when I host visitors, I often share my personal St. James’ story.  In short, I liked the school so much that, after I left for a short time to be an administrator at another school, I returned to St. James’ as soon as the opportunity presented itself.  I am here for the same reason as our faculty, staff, students, and parents: for the diverse independent school community that is unmatched in Los Angeles; for the opportunity to create a program that is both academically challenging and creative; for the opportunity to be in an environment that not only focuses on academics but also on strong moral values and ethics; for our commitment to community service; and for our efforts to make a difference globally.  At St. James’, each students’ success is paramount to every constituent, and to this end, students are provided with many layers of support and guidance throughout their years here.  I am fortunate to work in such a well-balanced, warm, and intellectually stimulating environment, and I invite you to peruse this website and to visit our lovely campus.  I am certain that you, too, will feel the St. James’ difference.
