We seek to enroll well-rounded applicants who are eager to participate in a wide range of activities and want close and positive relationships with their teachers and fellow students.

Student Life

Summary: Students who live at Saint James share the joys and challenges of boarding school life with a wide variety of friends, and they are thus enriched by this diversity of talents and backgrounds. Most importantly, the quality of these friendships is deep, reflecting the shared experiences of boarding life. Often it is the informal times shared at school, hanging out after evening study hall and having fun on the weekends, which afford the best opportunities for boarding students to show and appreciate their more personal qualities such as humor, good will, and integrity. By living together in such a community, students emerge from their experiences at Saint James with a strengthened sense of the essential interrelationship of mind, body, and spirit.

Saint James has two girls' and three boys' dormitories. Gertrude Steele Coors Hall and Holloway House combine to house 65 girls. Second- and third-form (eighth and ninth grade) girls live in Coors while fourth, fifth and sixth formers (tenth, eleventh and twelfth graders) live in Holloway. Mattingly, Onderdonk and Claggett Halls provide space for 100 boys. Second-form boys live in Onderdonk, third-form boys live in Mattingly and fourth, fifth and sixth formers are housed in Claggett.

Weekends are full of fun activities for you and your friends. You will have the opportunity to attend the theater or concerts in Baltimore or Washington, DC. If you enjoy the outdoors, hiking, camping and skiing trips are fun. Other weekend activities include ice skating, mystery trips, movie runs on Saturday nights, mall trips and jaunts to Washington, DC. Faculty open houses provide the opportunity to hang out with faculty and friends in a relaxed family atmosphere. During the weekends at Saint James, you will create memories and build friendships that will last a lifetime.
