• Graduation Requirements

    The hallmark of Saint James School’s academic program is our liberal arts approach, which is designed to provide a sound foundation in all disciplines and to prepare our students for further study at a four-year college. Both rigorous and supportive, the academic program stimulates and challenges students to develop their strengths and to cultivate and improve skills in other disciplines.

    B+ = 3.33 (87-89)D+ = 1.33 (67-69)
    B = 3.00 (83-86)D = 1.00 (63-66)
    B- = 2.67 (80-82)D- = 0.67 (60-62)
