We love the Christian education our kids receive from loving teachers who genuinely care about them and their futures.

We chose St. James School because we are members of St. James Church, and our extended family has a long tradition of participation in Lutheran education.

What is one word that best describes St. James Lutheran School? Tell us why you chose that word.

Opportunity. There are so many opportunities to flourish, and to learn and try new things, in a small Christian school environment.

In what ways have you seen your child grow and develop as a result of their experience at St. James?

Our children have grown in their faith as young men and women. They have received amazing opportunities to develop in their athletics careers and competencies. The education they have received at St. James has made them extremely well prepared for high school academics.

How is St. James preparing your child for high school, college, and life?

At St. James, children are prepared for high school through top notch academics, an understanding of living a well-balanced life, and the courage to do what is right through a strong Christian faith.

What would you tell another parent who is considering enrolling their child at St. James?

Come for the athletics, arts, and academics…stay for the Christ-centered experience that will guide your child throughout the rest of his or her life.
