St. James Academy uses a block schedule that allows students to see every teacher two or three times a week. Community Time allows students the opportunity to build a sense of belonging and relationships with fellow students, and with staff and faculty. Students are placed in Households of approximately twenty. Each Household is involves a teacher Mentor, a senior Leader, and students from all four grades. Belonging to small groups encourages interaction, increases comfort, and fosters friendship.

Lunch Time is another opportunity to build relationships and community. Our Dining Hall is designed to resemble a corporate dining room with round tables to encourage conversation. Teachers and staff eat lunch in the same Dining hall as the students. The school rule is “No one eats alone.” Including everyone is really emphasized at St. James Academy.
The Gathering Space next to the Dining Hall is a place for students to congregate, use their laptops, talk, or work on homework before and after school.
Other activities for the students at St. James Academy include
AWOL: Alone With Our Lord, which means taking time out of the school day to spend time alone and reflect with Jesus
