About St. James School

Located between the historic Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges in Manhattan, St. James School celebrated its 150th anniversary in 2004. The late New York Governor, Alfred E. Smith, attended St. James and received his only formal education at our school.

St. James has always been a crossroads for multiple communities, and the School reflects the diversity of New York City. Our students are enriched by the wealth of backgrounds of their classmates. Today, the school serves Pre-K through eighth grade students who live in the surrounding Chinatown neighborhood, as well as students of parents who work in the City Hall area. About half of our students commute from outside the Lower East Side, mostly from Brooklyn. 

As a small Catholic school with 1 class per grade, St. James feels like a close-knit family. At St. James, we believe that each student has the potential to achieve and succeed. With an average class size of 24 students, all children are offered the individual attention they deserve in a constructive, nurturing, and safe environment. 

Every year, our students go on to attend top Catholic and public high schools including Bard High School, Cristo Rey, St. Jean Baptiste, La Salle Academy, Loyola Academy, Notre Dame, Stuyvesant, St. Vincent Ferrer, and Xavier High School. Learn More Now
