Our Founders' Vision

Hope of St. James Medical Coding School's inspiring story is deeply rooted in the visionary partnership of Dr. Manny St. James and Hope Santiago. Their journey began in the serene community of Diamond Bar, California, where their shared values of education, family, and community took root. Bound by a profound belief in the life-changing power of knowledge, they embarked on a noble mission: to establish an educational institution that would not only disseminate wisdom but also cultivate a profound sense of belonging and purpose.

The school's inception was marked by humble beginnings, with just one eager student in their garage. Yet, their relentless dedication, unwavering passion, and profound commitment to creating an environment where learners could thrive have allowed Hope of St. James to blossom into a vibrant educational community. Dr. Manny St. James, our esteemed head instructor, brings over two decades of invaluable experience to our institution.

Beyond his extensive knowledge, what truly sets him apart is his remarkable ability to foster an atmosphere where every student feels like a cherished member of the family. Their vision transcended traditional education, creating a nurturing, empowering space where students could not only acquire knowledge but also realize their true potential.
