We welcome our new member and look forward to collaborations.

The Saint James Music Academy gives young people the opportunity to explore their creative potential, gain self-confidence, get an academic head start, and develop good relationships, all of which will add to their success in life.

At a time when Vancouver's Downtown Eastside is rapidly changing, we have established a music education program which will remain accessible to children from low-income families.

Saint James Music Academy is located at St James Anglican Church, where teaching space is provided to the Academy free of charge. In providing this space, the church is continuing its 125-year tradition of excellence in music and commitment to its neighbourhood.
