ST. JAMES ACADEMY

Rizal Ave. Ext., Brgy. San Agustin, Malabon City

 

 

HISTORICAL PROFILE OF ST. JAMES ACADEMY

            St. James Academy of Malabon City broke ground from the vestiges of Malabon Normal School, the first Archdiocesan Catholic teacher training institution, conceived by the Manila Archbishop Michael O’Doherty in 1925 and formally opened in June 1926, with the Maryknoll Sisters taking the reins of the administration.

            The first Grade School graduation took place in 1931 with 20 graduates whiles the High School had it in 1933.  In April 1936, the normal school and the pre-school departments were moved to Isaac Peral St., Manila now United nations Avenue, while the grade school and high school departments remained patron of Bishop James Anthony Walsh, M.M. the co-founder of the maryknoll Congregation with the maryknoll Sisters still supervising the institution.

            When Wolrd War II broke out in 1941, the school was closed down but classes continued at the private residence of the Punzalan family and managed by lay teachers while the Mryknoll Sisters were interned by the Japanese in Los Baños, Laguna and the University of Sto. Tomas.

            The school reopened in 1945 when the war end.  The first high school graduation after the war took place on March 26, 1946 with 20 graduates.

            In 1960, St. James Academy, being an Archdiocesan school, became an automatic member of the Manila Archdiocesan and Parochial Schools Association after the Archdiocesan of Manila promulgated a decree creating MAPSA.

            In 1980, the Maryknoll Congregartion, formerly The Foreign Mission of St. Dominic, veered its charism to full-time missionary work thus, bequeathing their 54 years of management of the school to another St. Dominic-inspired congregation as approved by His Eminence Jaime  Cardinal Sin, then Archdiocesan of Manila – the Dominican Sisters of St. Catherine of Siena.

            On October 20, 2003.  in view of the canonical establishment of the new Diocese of Kalookan, St. James Academy became a diocesan school under the aforementioned diocese, known as kalookan Diocesan  School Association (KADSA). However, SJA is still a part of Manila Archdiocesan and Parochial School Association, Inc. (MAPSA), the latter being an umbrella organization of all diocesan schools in Metro Manila, Antipolo and Bulacan.

            Presently, St. James Academy, a PAASCU accredited institution, affords quality Catholic basic education to students from the Greater Manila area comprising the cities of Malabon, Valenzuela, Quezon city, Kalookan, the municipality of Navotas and as far as Obando and Marilao in Bulacan.

            Through the years, St. James Academy has tremendously changed Malabon’s landmark. Its physical contour and instructional facilities have met the benchmarks of an excellent learning institution.
