A Message From Our Principal:

Dear Friends of SSPJ,

Welcome to our website designed by SSPJ Alum Blaise Claire! As you peruse the information contained on our web pages, we hope the information will give you a glimpse into the many facets of Saints Philip and James School.

The long line of “green and gold” successful graduates since the founding of our 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, Arts, and Math), the framework has expanded to an in-depth interdisciplinary approach. Students grow in their communication skills and develop their ability to collaborate.

SS. Philip and James School is like the “pearl of great price” as Jesus relates in Matthew 13: 45-46. One has to be willing to sacrifice for this pearl, but in the end gains wisdom through experience and the Kingdom of God. In a similar manner, parents sacrifice to send their children to SSPJ because they value the faith environment and the rigorous academics.

 We invite you to come for a visit and see our faculty and students in action. Enroll your child and invest in your child’s future.

God bless you!

Sister Teresa Ballisty, IHM

Principal
