Welcome!
Established in 1945, St. James School sits adjacent to Academy Hill in the heart of the beautiful historic district of Stratford, Connecticut.
Our school serves the educational, spiritual, and social needs of boys and girls in grades preschool through eighth grade.
St. James offers a competitive high school preparatory curriculum that is rooted in the teachings of Jesus Christ. We seek to instill in each student a lifelong passion for the Word of the Lord, the sacredness of family and the value of service to others.
Our staff recognizes and strives to nurture each child's unique gifts. St. James offers small classes, honors-level courses in Middle School and learning support services through eighth grade for those students who would benefit from the extra help.
St. James has educational partnerships with Fairfield University and Southern Connecticut State University and a learning center with support services for students who would benefit from continued academic growth.
In addition, we offer an after school program and many engaging clubs, music programs, and sports activities. Financial assistance is available to qualifying families.
St. James School is fully accredited by the New England Association of Schools and Colleges and is open to students of all cultures, ethnicities, and faiths. We are a family of believers that seek to know and value each other.
"We plant the seeds that will one day grow."
-Saint Oscar Romero
