About St. James School: Founded in 2011, St. James School is a unique faith-based middle (grades 4-8) school in the Episcopal tradition, serving students from the Allegheny-West neighborhood of North Philadelphia. The School serves students and families who are most in need, providing a full scholarship to every student. We develop our students' moral and spiritual selves and their intellectual, physical and creative gifts. Students benefit from small class sizes, an extended day, robust art and music programs, extensive social-emotional support, an 11 month school year (Sept. - July) and comprehensive High School Placement and Graduate Support Program.
