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.
