Post-Secondary Partnerships and Paths
Our college and university partners are committed to improving the college attendance and completion rates of our students who are often the first in their families to attend college. To that end, they ensure that accepted St. James students will have increased support services, lower financial burden, and close coordination with the St. James School Graduate Support team in an effort to accomplish this shared goal.
Our current partners:
Cabrini University
Cabrini University has announced a partnership with St. James School, a middle and high school committed to educating traditionally under-resourced students in a nurturing environment, aimed at ensuring St. James graduates earn college degrees.
Harcum College
To help increase completion rates for first generation college students and low-income students, Harcum College is partnering with St. James School to ensure their graduates earn college degrees.
Holy Family University
Holy Family University and St. James School have launched a first-of-its-kind program in Philadelphia to ensure post-secondary education success for low-income African American students, who are often first-generation college students and under-represented on college campuses.
Our graduates currently attend or have graduated from:
