St. James Day School in Johannesburg:
(For children aged 4½ upwards)
In a world where values are in confusion, there is a real need to create a love and reverence in the minds and hearts of our young people for all that is great and good. We need to remind them of the dignity and excellence of human life, through which simple but profound virtues may shine for the well-being of all.
At St James:
- Assemblies are centred on worship and fine singing
- Teachers enjoy the company of their pupils
- Children respect their teachers
- Classrooms are quiet places of learning
- Pupils are taught to pay close attention
- Art is about fine drawing and accurate observation
- Pupils listen to the best music
- The Bible, Shakespeare and Scripture from both East and West are revered
- Learning by heart is a basic practice
- Grammar is the essential discipline behind language
- The Classics introduce the epic dimension
- Good lives, great deeds and fine words are the basis for history
- Debating skills and fine speech are valued highly
- Sport is taught to instil fair play and team spirit
The hope is that this generation may find the strength to live truthful, upright, magnanimous and disciplined lives that will serve to support the principles of unity in the family, the nation and the world.
A Bursary Fund has been set up to raise funds for the provision of bursaries for students of St. James. The St. James Board of Governors and The Friends of St. James, which comprises a group of parents, work together to raise funds to give all children, regardless of their circumstances the chance to obtain a fine education. At present there are several pupils benefiting from this fund.
