St James Senior Girls' School

St. James Senior Girls’ School provides an education which draws out and magnifies the unique talents innate in every individual. We inspire our pupils with a love for the finest aspects of human life so that they themselves develop the inner strength to live honest, dignified and magnanimous lives.

Our challenging curriculum provides intellectual, emotional, spiritual and physical nourishment and looks for balance with regard to these aspects of human nature. We give our girls experience of the finest literature, language, art, music, dance and drama. In the study of sciences we open up an appreciation of the outstanding intelligence and laws that govern the observable universe.

Our teachers are experts in their subjects and have been chosen because they have the capacity to devote themselves to the well-being and development of their pupils who are encouraged to be rigorous and disciplined in their academic efforts and to take personal responsibility for their studies.

The aim of a balanced, rich education which has spirituality at its heart is to produce young women of high calibre and sound moral conduct who demonstrate honesty, courage and fortitude. They should have learned how to work in a spirit of unity with others, assuming leadership as necessary.

A St James girl is industrious, open-hearted and courageous. We will encourage her to develop self-discipline and the capacity to hold firmly to her intelligent understanding of how to live in a manner conducive to happiness for herself and others.
