Overview
St. James School holds the distinction of having the "oldest building in the State of Texas continuously operated as a school." Continuing to build on this proud tradition, St. James School was recognized as an "exemplary" campus in our last accreditation visit in February, 2005.
Our mission is: "Keeping God In Everything We Do.".
Lifegate Christian School is a fully-accredited K-12 school serving Christian families who desire a Christian education for their children.
As it has for the past 45 years, Lifegate serves families in Seguin and surrounding communities in Guadalupe, Gonzales, Caldwell, and Wilson counties. The School is a ministry of Lifegate Church and is located three miles southeast of Seguin on FM 466.
A Lifegate Education is a safe, quality and affordable Christian education for your children. We believe you will find a friendly Christian environment where children are free to learn and grow in knowledge to serve the Lord and their fellow man.
