Records should be requested from the sending school and mailed from the school directly to St. James Episcopal School. In some cases, schools require a direct request to come from St. James. In such cases, parents should contact the St. James registrar's office. School records should include:
- Most Recent Report Card
- Standardized Test Scores
- Current Immunization Record
When students have already been attending another school, recommendations from two of the candidate's current teachers (if applicable) are required on the appropriate Teacher Recommendation Form.
In order to know more about a candidate's own special pattern of social, emotional, academic and social development, preschool candidates are asked to come to our campus and to spend time participating in experiences similar to the regular school program while under the supervision of one of our teaching staff.
All applicants for grades 1-8 are required to present the results from a nationally normed achievement test or to take standardized reading and arithmetic tests administered by St. James.
The Admissions Committee meets as needed during the admissions season to consider those candidates who have completed the full admissions process.
Students have been enrolled only when the annual SJES Enrollment Contract has been signed by the financially responsible parties and by the School. Parents are contracting for the entire year and therefore are encouraged to consider the available tuition insurance. The specific date of premature withdrawal determines whether any of the year's tuition can be refunded.
