James School’s page. I hope that by visiting this site and touring our school, you will be convinced that St. James offers the best educational opportunities to empower your children to thrive and develop all of their potentials. At St. James School they will be motivated and challenged, so that upon graduation, they will be prepared academically, morally, and socially for high school and beyond. Here, tuition is not considered a bill, but an investment that will ensure that your children have a CLEAR commitment to the attitudes that lead to success in life. St. James students are clear about being:
C: Faith-Filled Christians and Catholics
L: Lifelong and Engaged Learners
E: Effective Speakers and Writers
A: Avid Readers
R: Responsible Students and Family Members
Saint James is a Middle States accredited Catholic Elementary School in the Diocese of Erie, Pennsylvania. Founded in 1957 by Msgr. Francis P. Coughlin and the Sisters of the Divine Spirit. Throughout our 50+ years of education we have been a model of educational excellence, providing a well-rounded curriculum to children from preschool through the eighth grade. The parent testimonials, and the students’ outstanding performance on standardized testing offers persuasive evidence that Saint James School will provide the best environment to empower your children to thrive, maybe the most important endorsement of our school comes from the students themselves. The seventh grade classes wrote and produced a video that won first place in the Channel 12 How Cool Is Your School Contest. After viewing the video and coming to understand how the “We Care” philosophy permeates all aspects of the school day, you will be convinced that being part of the Saint James School Family is the best choice for your children. I hope that you will choose to give your children the best, and become part of the St. James School Family. Sincerely,
Fr. James P. McCormick, Pastor
