The most wonderful school in all of Maryland. Our 2 children couldn't be happier and as parents we couldn't be either. Just one visit and you will see all that St James has to offer.

As many private schools in the Baltimore area have had changing leadership over the past 10 years, St James has maintained their excellent classroom experience for children. This is the most important thing to look for. Many of the High Schools we visited are so happy when we mention we are from St James and say how much they love our kids-so prepared and eager to learn. Small can be a true gift to your child - it gives them a manageable world and a chance to shine until it is time to move up.

St. James Academy is truly a gem in the Baltimore area. The experiential, inquiry based approach makes learning come alive for the students. Our experience has surpassed our expectations. We considered several other schools in the area and feel so fortunate to have discovered SJA. The foundation students receive is second to none and prepares them for successes well into the future.

Post COVID and the new administration I would not recommend this school at all. They promised teacher assistants, after school programs and collaborative experience but have failed to uphold their commitments to a lot of families. And if you are dual working parents that expect the basic communicati...

I have two children that attended SJA. My kids are both very different and SJA was an outstanding experience for both. They were accepted to every local private high school to which they applied and were offered multiple merit based scholarships. They have taken the foundation built at SJA and have...
