Welcome to St. James'
At St. James’ we believe in our students. We support them in becoming curious and compassionate citizens through hands-on learning from ages 2 to 12.
A structured academic program that produces highly successful graduates is complemented by creative specialty classes. This provides a well rounded learning environment that promotes every child’s talents.
Most importantly here at St. James’, we are proud of the young people our students become and the demonstrations of kindness they show to each other, their community, and the world at large.

Matriculation
98% of the Class of 2026 received an offer from one of their top two middle schools. 68% are attending Harvard-Westlake, Marlborough, or Campbell Hall. We believe that our extraordinary children should be exceptionally prepared for middle school and beyond.
Admission
You can learn about our approach to education on our website, but nothing compares to experiencing St. James’ in person. We invite you to visit us and see firsthand how our belief in the wonder of childhood, rigorous academics, the strength of diversity, and prioritizing socio-emotional support creates a joyful learning environment.

The 6th Graders have kicked off their journey as the leaders of our student body!
The Blazer Ceremony marks this as their first time as a class donning the blazers they will wear on school interviews on and off campus as they represent our community. They always make us so proud!
We had a wonderful first week of the new school year!
We tested the new playground, met Reverend Susan at our first Chapel Service of the year, celebrated birthdays, and blessed our backpacks for a great year ahead.
Parents! Looking forward to seeing you in the coming weeks! Make sure to RSVP on ParentSquare for your respective class receptions 😊
We were SO excited to meet our new friends who have graduated to the elementary campus!
For Kindergarten and Preschool Transition Week, students are invited to get acquainted with what will be their new classrooms at the end of this month.
For a few hours a day, they work on their arts and crafts skills, read, and learn the skills they`ll need on the "big" campus, like carpool pickup protocols!
