St. James Academy is a GREAT high school! Their community system makes sure students know kids in each grade. Our kids came into high school not knowing anyone at the school and left with life long friends! The teachers are the best and always went above and beyond to help out my kids when they were having a hard time grasping a subject. I would highly recommend St. James Academy to anyone!!

St. James created a safe and very welcoming learning environment for me. They provided an environment that was heavily influenced by a sense of community and friendship. I had a great time at St. James and will always be thankful for the education, friendships, and safety they provided me in my high school years.
