Welcome to St. James!
St. James is an elementary school serving students from Junior Kindergarten to grade 8. We offer both Regular programming and the French Immersion program in a Christ-centered environment.
Our school is situated in the friendly town of Lively, Ontario. Our location is ideal and provides teachers and students numerous opportunities for school outings and community relationships.
We are within walking distance to Pius X Catholic Church, the community arena, the public library, the wildlife rescue centre, Anderson Farm Museum, the ski hill, etc. Our beautiful school yard is adjacent to the picturesque Anderson Farm and community park. Our school boundaries extend from Lively to Naughton and the Atikameksheng Anishnawbek – Whitefish Lake First Nation.
St. James offers a solid education based on the Ontario Curriculum and the Ontario Catholic Graduate Expectations. Teachers and administration work hard as a team to provide child every possible opportunity to learn and succeed in a safe and loving environment. Parent volunteers play an important part in the school and are always welcome and encouraged to join the school council or the strong team of volunteers who help teachers and students during and after school hours.
