My two kids have attended St. James since before Kindergarten. My wife and I couldn't be happier with the quality of education and the life skills taught at St. James. Energizing the Mind, Body and Spirit are important at all ages, but particularly in the early years. The education is top notch (as

I love going to school here and so do my siblings. The teachers are demanding but very nice and even though we need to get a 93% on our tests to get an A instead of just a 90% like many other school, I wouldn't want it any other way.
