Our Philosophy
Spirituality is woven into the fabric of life at St. James’. All students attend our weekly Chapel, an inclusive ritual rooted in the form and ethos of the Episcopal heritage. At the same time, we recognize and respect the religious and ethnic diversity of our students and introduce children to the world’s religious traditions, asking them to reflect upon questions of faith, ethics, and community. More concretely, we teach that spirituality and religious faith are grounded in service that affirms the dignity and worth of all human beings
