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.

News
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!
How do we keep the next generation connected socially, when more and more evidence shows that delaying smart phone usage till at least 8th grade is best for them?
Well here at St. James`, we`re proud to be among the first schools to provide Tin Can phones to ALL our students who needed them—giving them a simple, safe, and fun way to stay connected without the endless distractions of a smartphone!
SJS families, let us know how your kiddos are enjoying their new land lines! 📞
