Our Curriculum
Early Childhood
Grade School
St. James The Less Academy Academics
We lay the groundwork that will ignite a lifelong journey of learning.
Our unique approach to education integrates the student, the family and the community in a joint effort to infuse our students with the wonders of classical education taught in a way that encourages curiosity, faith, and virtue and will serve as a foundation for a life of learning. Our curriculum is strategically designed to embrace and enhance the student’s development in Mind, Body and Spirit.
We aim to cultivate a love of learning and a spirit of curiosity about the world that we hope will never cease but only grow in our students. We want to show how all knowledge is unified and connected across all the subject areas because God is Truth and all knowledge is woven together like a beautiful web or tapestry.
