Prayer and worship are the centerpiece of our community.
Opportunities for planning and participation in liturgy and prayer,
service, biblical studies, and for integration of basic Christian
principles into our lives should be provided.

Since we are all created in God’s image, an atmosphere of
mutual respect and cooperation should be encouraged and fostered by
all members of the Saint James community.

All students should have the opportunity to develop moral and
spiritual values, integrity, and an ethical standard of conduct and
should be encouraged to do so.

Every child has the right to learn in a faith-filled, safe, and
caring environment where high academic expectations, self esteem,
good character, healthy lifestyles, creativity, and an appreciation
for the arts are promoted.

An education should include nurturing spiritual, academic,
social, emotional, cultural, and physical growth and development.
