St. James Academy

St. James Academy is a fantastic school that educates the whole child!

Our kids have attended St. James Academy (SJA) for the past 2 years. SJA is not just a “school” it much more than that. It is a caring and nurturing student-focused educational facility with a strong sense of community. It is our extended family! Everyone has been welcoming and inviting, the teacher/student ratio is low, so every child gets personal attention to help them thrive with individual needs. The teachers and other SJA families care deeply about the kids. SJA has helped our kids grow both spiritually, academically, emotionally, physically and socially. They really educate the whole child.We have loved the families we have met through SJA. Not only are our children obtaining a great education, but they are learning to be good people with great morals and values in a safe and loving environment. It is beautiful to see the older grades connecting with the younger ones. During lunch time they play together, and the older kids sit with the younger ones during Friday mass. The students even have “school families” where kids throughout all different grade levels come together monthly to do activities. It creates a strong relationship and friendship between all the children on campus – the older kids help teach the little ones.SJA has been the best investment in our children’s future. We love it here and would highly recommend it to any family.

It is an amazing school! I am constantly in awe of how happy we have been with every teacher. It is a warm, supportive environment and it is reflected in the way the kids present themselves in the world.

We love SJA!! We feel beyond blessed to be apart of this community. It is truly an extension of our little family to one big family. The care and guidance of the leadership, the incredible teachers and staff are truly one of a kind. Our children couldn’t be in a better environment with faith formation occurring throughout the day and woven into the challenging and well rounded curriculum, as well as the PE/sports activities, the beautiful music program, hands on gardening and responsible/kindness training. We have made wonderful friendships with the other families and look forward to the years to come. Thank you SJA!

Our family has been here 15 years. We’ve seen the ups and downs, like most schools but what sets St James Academy apart is that they teach for a greater purpose. All students are encouraged to use their skills and gifts to go out and make a difference in the world. In a culture where high academic and athletic competitiveness is valued, if these skills are not ultimately used for the greater good, it doesn’t really matter. St James fosters an environment where kids are taught to make a difference. By the way, if you are concerned about academic excellence in a smaller environment like St James, my two older kids are thriving at Santa Clara University and Boston College
