Sts. Philip and James School provides a Catholic education to students from Nursery School through Grade 8 that respects individual diversity, fosters cooperative learning, promotes global awareness, and instills 21st century skills needed in today’s society.

Our primary commitment is to integrate the Gospel message with the intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual development of our students, enabling them to become true leaders of tomorrow. 

All of our students are called to be Apostles of Hope. Students are acknowledged each month for their acts of kindness, commitment to their studies, and overall spirit of goodness.

• Technology – During the lockdown of 2020-2021, we quickly provided tools for remote learning to our students. When students at other schools struggled, the students at our school excelled.

• Servant Leadership – In 2020-2021, our teachers believed students and families were their #1 priority making sure each student received classwork and support in the most challenging of circumstances. Now, they continue to make students and families their #1 priority.

• Safe Classroom Learning – We all know that young students learn better in a classroom with their peers. We have an impressive student-to-teacher ratio and spacious classrooms. This allowed us to bring back all students for full 5-day in-person learning for the 2020-2021 school year when most schools in Long Island remained closed. For the 2022-2023 school year, our students continue to track academic progress.
