Mission and Philosophy

Mission 

The mission of St. James Lutheran School is to share the Christian faith as reflected in the Lutheran Confessions in a Christ-centered environment by providing opportunities for the spiritual, intellectual, physical, emotional, and social growth of children.

Philosophy

At St. James Lutheran School, we believe only a balanced education, one that provides for spiritual, intellectual, and physical growth, can prepare today's youth to be responsible citizens at home and in their community. As a Lutheran school, we bring that balance by integrating Christ's love into the fabric of each day. Classroom work is intertwined with opportunities for worship, study of God's Word, and fellowship.

We target each student's individual needs, striving for academic excellence with sound Christ-centered instruction. We work to help students master the academic skills they need, as well as develop their individual talents.

As a result, St. James students receive a quality education. But more importantly, they learn to recognize themselves as persons of worth made by a loving God in His own image.
