Academics At St James School

Mission

To educate young people in ways that prepare them to be engaged, free thinking, and socially responsible citizens in a democratic society.

Educational Philosophy

An environment where learning takes place without fear is essential for learning success.

Learning by doing is the most effective way of learning.

Holistic education through active engagement in all areas of learning will produce successful citizens of tomorrow.

Teaching

Teaching is more exploratory than explanatory at St James School which makes learning fun for the kids.

Great emphasis is laid on language and numeric skill development which is so essential for future learning

We plan to replace assessment of learning by assessment rubrics rather than the traditional numerical scores obtained in formal time bound examinations which we believe don’t assess the true abilities of all children.

Effective revision program

Comprehensive and effective revision programs have been prepared for students appearing for final board examination so that they face the examinations with confidence.
