School
As part of its responsibility for mission at Saint James the Less, Saint Mark's Church began a fundraising effort to open a new parish school to serve the local community. Beginning with a successful after-school program in the fall of 2010, staff were hired, renovations begun and in September 2011 Saint James School opened. The school is part of the NativityMiguel Network of Schools and The National Association of Episcopal Schools.

Famous quotes containing the word school:
“I am both a public and a private school boy myself, having always changed schools just as the class in English in the new school was taking up Silas Marner, with the result that it was the only book in the English language that I knew until I was eighteen—but, boy, did I know Silas Marner!”
—Robert Benchley (1889–1945)
“I wish to speak a word for Nature, for absolute freedom and wildness, as contrasted with a freedom and culture merely civil,—to regard man as an inhabitant, or a part and parcel of Nature, rather than as a member of society. I wish to make an extreme statement, if so I may make an emphatic one, for there are enough champions of civilization: the minister and the school committee and every one of you will take care of that.”
—Henry David David (1817–1862)
“We’ll set thee to school to an ant, to teach thee there’s no laboring i’ the winter.”
—William Shakespeare (1564–1616)
