Collect of the Community

​Gracious God, strengthen in us two values that we hold central as a Christian Community.  These values are inspired by Jesus' two great commandments.  First, we love God or something greater than ourselves with all our hearts and mind, and second we commit to loving our neighbor as we love ourselves.  There is no boundary or condition to our love and commitment to God or to our neighbor, no matter who they may be.  All are welcome in this place.  Amen.

Discover the Unique Educational Approach at St. James Preschool
Registration now open for the 2026-2027 school year 

Picture
  • St. James School is a non-sectarian program that has been serving Upper Montclair and its surrounding communities for nearly 40 years. We are dedicated to developing the emotional, intellectual, social and physical growth of our students. We believe that education is a cooperative effort among students, parents and staff, designed to stimulate the creativity and achievements of each child. Our teachers place emphasis on the process and the joy of learning and creating, rather than on the finished product. Each young person entrusted to us is important, and we consider it an honor and a privilege to be a part of his or her life! Don't wait to register for 2026-27 -- now accepting age six months as of September 2026. Find out more about St. James Preschool.
