    About St. James

    St. James is a faith-based educational community deeply rooted in transformative loving relationships.

    Located in the Allegheny West neighborhood of Philadelphia,

    The School serves students and families who are most in need, providing a full scholarship to every student. Students benefit from small class sizes, an extended day, robust music programs, extensive social-emotional support, and an 11-month school year (Sept - July)

    The Graduate Support Program is a lifelong commitment to every child. It prepares students for future success and supports them along the way – through high school, college, careers, and beyond.

    The Welcome Table designs community actions and creates spaces for members of the school and broader community to address essential needs and experience a community of sharing.

    The Church of St. James the Less seeks to be a place to encounter God, build community and grow personally with weekly mass and worship services.
