We will teach the agreed upon course objectives while providing evidence of student achievement of those objectives through varied means and timely, relevant assessments.

St. Anthony School is about growing in knowledge and grace. That means, first of all, we are an academic community. Our school is a place where students are provided a sound foundation in the basics, where they are introduced to the arts and sciences, and where they learn the skills necessary for critical thinking in a changing world. We have a talented and dedicated faculty singularly focused on the achievement of our students. Their performance on standardized tests, individual academic achievements, and competitive high school entrance results are evidence of the success of these efforts. Expanded programs in science, computers and foreign language are examples of our commitment to continuous improvement in academics.

Saint James Catholic School has much to offer our students and families. Religion classes, which focus on the teachings of the Catholic Church as well as Gospel Living, are a part of our everyday curriculum and life. We strive to bring our Catholic Faith to life in the heart of each member of our school community. Together we help each other grow in our relationship with Jesus Christ and to see Him in all those we meet each day.

With small classes, a strong emphasis on faculty-student interaction, and an academic program that emphasizes active learning, intellectual rigor along with appropriate support, we help students become
