Saints Philip and James School - Exton, PA

Saints Philip and James School (SSPJ), located in Exton, Pennsylvania, serves the children of the Parish and the surrounding area. Faithful to its mission of providing a challenging academic program and forming children in the Catholic faith, SSPJ has an established history in the community and is the recipient of its second National Blue Ribbon Schools award.

The long line of "green and gold" successful graduates since the founding of the school in 1960 attests to the high academic standards and the faith-filled community environment that forms and shapes young people each day. The curriculum, designed by the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, provides a solid foundation for students in the 21st century. With the addition of STREAM (Science, Technology, Religion, Engineering, Art, and Math), the framework has expanded to an in-depth interdisciplinary approach. Students grow in their communication skills and develop their ability to collaborate.

Virtual classes are utilized as needed to prevent disruption of instruction throughout the school year. The use of EANS funding enabled the purchase of technology to provide one-to-one devices in all grades. Teachers integrate specific software programs to individualize instruction through remediation and enrichment.

The virtue-based discipline program supports the school's mission which instills respect for all people created in God's image. Focusing on the positive creates a safe and caring environment. Administration, faculty, parents, and students work together collaboratively, providing a supportive faith-filled community in which all children can reach their full potential and become contributing members of the Church and community.
