St. James School relies heavily on the time, talent, and financial contributions of its past and present community members. Tuition and fees finance approximately 78% of the actual costs of educating our students. Contributions from our community members are used to bridge the gap between the tuition and the operating budget, as well as to finance capital improvements, increase financial aid, enhance technology, improve curriculum, and support salary increases for our outstanding faculty and staff.
Our current development efforts include Home and School Association fundraisers, the St. James School Annual Fund, the St. James School Tuition Assistance Fund, and the St. James School Endowment Fund. Every gift matters and is greatly appreciated! 100% participation is our goal.
The Georgia GOAL Scholarship Program is a remarkable initiative that enables individuals and businesses to help deserving students access quality K-12 education that may otherwise be out of reach.
All Georgia taxpayers are eligible to receive a 100% state income tax credit in exchange for their contributions to Georgia GOAL. Funds raised through GOAL are used to provide tuition assistance for exceptional students desiring to attend eligible private schools.
Explore and learn more about this opportunity by visiting the Georgia GOAL website.
Proceeds apply directly to the operating fund of the school and are used for various projects like new computers, new electronic “white boards” for classrooms, and a new security system for our children’s safety. Our students’ exposure to new technology has improved dramatically since the Annual Fund’s inception. To donate, please make checks payable to the SJCS Annual Fund.
St. James School tuition is outside the range of some local families; a problem becoming more prevalent in recent years as family’s finances are squeezed by lower wage increases and higher costs of living. The Tuition Assistance fund was created to ensure the future availability of faith-based education to our community’s young people by assisting families with the cost of our tuition. To donate, please make checks payable to the SJCS Scholarship Fund.
