"I GREW UP in a small town with one public elementary school, so when I moved to Duluth I planned to send my children to the closest public school. Fortunately, a friend and my childcare provider, both of whom had kids attending St. James, encouraged me to consider Catholic school. I am so grateful that they did. My children are receiving a top-notch education at St. James, an education that is enhanced because everything they're learning is grounded in faith." ~ St. James parent
