St. James Episcopal School
Our Vision
St. James Episcopal School is dedicated to providing an environment
wherein children are taught Christian values and principles and how
to integrate those ideals in their life and work. It is a place
where students are taught to develop and apply strong, clearly
defined academic skills and to acquire the foundation upon which
they may pursue life-long learning.
St. James Episcopal School is fully accredited by the Southwestern
Association of Episcopal Schools, which is an accrediting
organization recognized by the National Association of Independent
Schools and the Texas Education Agency and approved by the
Commissioner of Education.
A top priority for every family is to find a school in which
children can quickly adjust and be happy while receiving a quality
education. St. James School provides an environment in which
children can develop academically, physically, socially,
emotionally, and spiritually.
Our students are tested annually using the ITBS (Iowa Test of Basic
Skills). This test allows us to evaluate our program from year to
year to ensure that we continue to provide a high quality education
to our students. We continue to offer an enhanced extended day
program with licensed care, and educational courses such as
mathematics, reading, and art after school hours.
The School Board, Faculty and Staff goals continue to include a
quality education in a loving, Christian environment. All 26 faculty
and staff members participate in extended educational opportunities
throughout the year in the form of conferences, workshops and
retreats which allows for new information and updated techniques to
be brought into the classrooms with developmentally appropriate
curriculum. We continue to strive to meet Southwestern Association
of Episcopal Schools criteria for student testing, facilities,
reporting and faculty training and salary parity with local public
school systems.
