Our School

  • Mission Statement

    St. James Catholic School’s mission is to provide a Christ-centered education that forms the whole person, fostering intellectual and moral virtues through rigorous academics and a deep love for truth, beauty, and goodness. Rooted in the Catholic tradition and modeled after the early Church, our school embraces a missionary spirit, where educators answer the call to teach as joyful witnesses of the Gospel, freely offering themselves in service to this sacred mission. We cultivate excellence in mind and character, inspiring students to pursue holiness and seek heaven through a transformative relationship with Christ, which we joyfully witness to the world.

    Vision Statement

    St. James Catholic School provides a sanctuary of learning where children are formed in wisdom, virtue, and joyful discipleship. We equip students with the tools of lifelong learning and awaken in them a wonder for all that is truly good, beautiful, and true. In partnership with families—their first educators—we foster a love of God for all students that enlightens minds, shapes hearts, and fixes their eyes on heaven.

  • Let it be known to all who enter our school that CHRIST:

    • is the reason for this school

    • is the unseen but ever-present teacher in its classes

    • is the model of its faculty

    • is the inspiration of its students

  • In a recent Archdiocesan research study, parents of children in Catholic schools expressed confidence that their children will experience more complete development and unsurpassed academic and personal success.

    They believe Catholic Schools are an investment in the future of their children and of the Catholic faith.

    In the survey, parents stated these reasons for their belief:
     

    • Catholic teachings, faith and traditions integral to the curriculum

    • Faith-based and nurturing environment

    • A rigorous, time-tested curriculum

    • Caring and committed faculty

    • Reinforcement of family environment

    • Promotes discipline, respect, and responsibility

     

    The Archdiocese of Denver’s Catholic Schools are an investment in the future of our children and our Catholic faith.
