After-school arts and crafts programs include art, ceramics, origami, and cultural studies of arts and crafts. Drama games and Shakespeare for Kids are for students who would like to take part in theatrical activities. Cooking classes are offered to students of all ages. Students learn new recipes, make a recipe book, and experiment with creating new and delicious meals.

St. James’ believes that physical development is an integral part of its overall curriculum and the School emphasizes the acquisition of skills, good sportsmanship, and a sense of team commitment in athletics. Students in Grades One through Six participate in intramural contests during the day and have the opportunity to pursue additional athletic programs after school. Occasionally, St. James' competes against other schools in athletics. After-school athletic programs include Dance Exploration, Fencing, Karate, Outdoor Games, and Volleyball.

At St. James’, our community service projects have a dual purpose:
To be of genuine service to the local and world community.
To stir in our students a sense of compassionate engagement with the world in which they live and to nurture their sense of belonging with and within the communities served.

At St. James’ Episcopal School, we encourage our students and families to be mindful of their use of the earth’s resources.  This instruction takes place in the classroom as well as  through extra-curricular activities including:

• Planting, watering, and harvesting vegetables from the organic garden and giving the produce to the St. James’ Church soup kitchen
• Encouraging students to use reusable water bottles for their lunchtime drink
• Emptying the recycling bins around the school
• Selling used school uniforms
• Donating unclaimed items from the Lost and Found table
• Participating in Walk-to-School Day in October. Many of our families walk, bike, or take public transport to School to understand the health and environmental benefits.

St. James’ Episcopal School offers several unique musical opportunities for children:
The St. James’ School choir sings at the monthly All-School Chapel services, at St. James' Church once a month, and at special concerts.
The Bell Choir is a hand-bell ensemble which plays at special events.
The Korean Drumming group performs at St. James’ Church on Korean Sunday and at other events during the school year.
The St. James’ Strings Group includes students from Grade Two and above. After one year of classes and practice, students have the opportunity to play in the String Orchestra.

The technology program at St. James’ aims to prepare students to use technology in various ways, including accessing information, presenting information, and communicating with other students. State-of-the-art equipment allows us to stay ahead of the ever-changing technology curve. There are computers in every classroom, and the computer lab is fully networked with multi-media capabilities.

Students are encouraged to use their creativity, curiosity, ingenuity, and knowledge to explore various subjects, create new things, communicate their ideas, collaborate with their peers, and make important classroom connections using technology. The most important thing is that students enjoy their time in the computer lab and become more and more comfortable using various technologies.

Yearbook Video is a popular after-school class which provides students with the opportunity to learn digital photography and editing skills to create a DVD. Students work throughout the year on capturing school memories.

Daily worship is at the center of St. James’ Episcopal School. Each day begins with a prayer, and the children worship in the Church one day each week. The first Wednesday of each month, the entire school worships together in the Church for “All-School Chapel." We encourage children to bring an offering of non-perishable food for distribution to needy families through St. James’ Church’s Food Pantry. Parents are welcome at Chapel.
