Saints Philip and James School is a wonderful place to learn and grow!

Saints Philip and James School was our top choice for our daughters' education. Students are able to explore their passions and strengthen their sense of self. Some of the key core values that students learn are respect and responsibility. SSPJ teaches students to not only respect themselves but also the importance and understanding of treating others with dignity and kindness. SSPJ is a community and we were truly welcomed with open arms. Our daughters love going to school each and every day and it is because of the amazing teachers and staff that work here! They truly care and are dedicated professionals who make sure each and every student receives a top-tier education. We would recommend Saints Philip and James School to anyone looking a for a top-notch education for their child! It truly is a fabulous place and community for a child's Preschool through eighth-grade education

My son has been attending SSPJ for the last 4 years and I can't speak highly enough about our experience. He is the 4th generation of my family to attend this school and it has been a wonderful experience for all of us. Not only are the academics exceptional but the core values taught here are priceless. Teaching our children about respect, personal responsibility, dignity, community and other Christ-like values on a daily basis has such an impact on the students and their families. The teachers and staff truly care about each and every member of our school community! I would highly recommend Sts. Philip and James School to anyone looking for an excellent, faith-based education for their children in pre-K through 8th grade.

Our family has been part of this community for almost 18 years. We are grateful for the education, the formation, and the overall experience our children have gained while attending Saints Philip and James School. We have had the fortunate opportunity to raise our family alongside wonderful, Christian families.
