Saint James School is an independent, secondary, boarding and day school. Founded in 1842 as the College of Saint James, the School is a coeducational college preparatory school.
Saint James is one of twenty-four Episcopal Schools in the Diocese of Maryland. The School is governed by a Board of Trustees. A Prefect Council, made up of ten seniors elected by the students and the faculty, upholds the traditions of Saint James and assists faculty members and the Headmaster in the day-to-day operations of the School. Of this group, one member is elected Senior Prefect, and he or she leads the Prefects. The Sacristan Council and Vestry are responsible for the upkeep of the Chapel and assist in the liturgy of daily services. The Senior Sacristan is the second most prestigious position for a student on campus, following the senior prefect, and is the chief student assistant to the Chaplain. Saint James School is accredited by the Middle States Association of Colleges and the Maryland State Department of Education. The School is a member of: the National Association of Independent Schools, the Association of Independent Maryland Schools, Cum Laude Society, the Council for Advancement and Support of Education, and the National Association of Episcopal Schools.
The Revd. Dr. D. Stuart Dunnan was appointed headmaster of Saint James School in June 1992. A teacher and chaplain at both the school and university levels before he came to Saint James, he is one of the few Episcopal priests still serving as the head of a secondary school in the United States. Born and raised in Washington, D.C., Father Dunnan holds bachelor's and master's degrees in history from Harvard University and master's and doctoral degrees in theology from Oxford University in England.
Advanced Placement courses are offered for able and interested students who wish to pursue subjects in greater depth. Electives are offered to upper-form students for enrichment and the exploration of new interests.
Located in a rural setting, the Georgian-style campus of Saint James sits on 100 acres (0.40 km2) of farmland containing a natural spring, fields, and streams. The campus lies 5 miles (8.0 km) southwest of Hagerstown and is approximately 70 miles (110 km) from both Baltimore and Washington, D.C..
