Program Offerings

From extra care to extra curriculars, St. James has many options for your child.

SEL Learning

Social Emotional Learning (SEL) is the process by which all young people and adults acquire and apply the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to develop self-awareness, self-management, social awareness, healthy relationships and positive decision-making skills. Here at St. James, we implement SEL classes during the week, starting in Junior Kindergarten going up to 8th Grade.

Lunch Program

The hot lunch program is not included in tuition.

Fly Girl Fly started with a small team of educators in search of a better lunch program. When they couldn't find one, they set out to create it themselves. 



Our program was started with a simple mission; create healthy meals, that parents are happy to see and children are excited to eat.


We are a natural and organic school lunch program, serving healthier and tastier meals to Chicago area schools, including St. James Lutheran.

Before and After Care

Before and After school care is not included in tuition.

7:30 a.m. – 6:00 p.m.

Extra school care is a necessity for some families to be able to attend St. James. It is our intention to offer as flexible and cost effective a program as we can. Drop off for before school care is 7:30-8:00 a.m. and after school care is available from 2:45-6:00 p.m.
