This school has fundamentally changed the way I interact with the world for the better, it introduced me to wonderful people and shaped me into an adult that is ready to take on the world and interact with the job industry in a loving and Catholic way.

Best part is my friends and teachers. I would like to have more freedom and keep my cell phone during the day .

I have had a wonderful time in the 3 years I have been at St. James Academy. My remaining one is just starting and moving along quite well. I have always loved the atmosphere around the community and teachings as a whole. The best part about SJA is the community system!
