You’ll quickly discover that an Episcopal education is as rich as the human experience. Our students are intellectual, physical, creative, and spiritual beings who strive for happiness and a higher purpose our school reflects and encourages these essential, complementary pursuits. Our faculty and staff are a nurturing and innovative team. They are passionate classroom teachers and so much more as they mentor, coach, and direct those in their care. Their students’ academic success is not only measured by impressive college acceptance rates, but moreover by the grit, curiosity, and compassion that creates lifelong learners and much-needed leaders. Weekly chapel services, honor education, and a strong tradition of community service uphold the call to “respect the dignity of every human being” as we contemplate our place in the world. From the newly broken ground at the Knight Campus to the recently renovated Bryan Library, from the soaring voices and stained glass in the Davis Chapel to buildings and conversations in the round at Parks and Lastinger Halls, our beautiful campus provides an inspiring environment in which to grow. Our home on the St. John’s River hums with life as our calendar overflows with academic opportunities, athletic competitions, and artistic endeavors, while our burgeoning International Studies program takes students far and wide to explore other cultures and further discover themselves.

Career advise, internship opportunities, and connections between alumni of all ages are encouraged. Your student might leave campus, but Episcopal never leaves your student, even after graduation. As our global network of alumni says, “Once an Eagle, Always an Eagle!” The school's traditional liberal arts curriculum prepares the college-bound student by focusing on effective communications, critical thinking, problem-solving and technical skills. The same quest for excellence that drives our academic program shapes our commitment to programs in athletics, the arts, our spiritual life, and our dedication to service to others. These areas of campus life form the Four Pillars to which the school is dedicated. Through the opportunities the Four Pillars provide, students may experience not only the self-discipline and exertion of a competitive sport, but also the development and growth of their creative talents, the deepening of their faith, and a lifelong desire to serve others.

The goal of these programs is to immerse students in each country’s culture to generate an awareness and understanding of the differences and similarities to our own while connecting their day-to-day experiences with the academic focus of the program. Our commitment to developing students as servant leaders inspires our service trips to other countries. A mission trip to Romania gives students the opportunity for immersion in another culture as well as spiritual development through service to others. View full school

The year was 1970, when a small group of community leaders met with their rector at Christ Episcopal Church. They dreamed of a school to provide an education with high scholastic standards and small classes. That dream became Saint Stephen's Episcopal School and, in 1975, the first class of 11 seniors celebrated their graduation.

Founded in 1847, St. Mary's is the Oldest Independent School in Tennessee. We know how girls learn best and have a community of caring adults who want each girl to reach her potential. Girls here are smart in many ways — academically, creatively, athletically — and success at St. Mary's, therefore, is as individual as each girl. Our dedicated faculty provide the students with habits of mind and academic tools to thrive in their future: core knowledge, collaboration, creativity, and the desire and ability to keep learning as an adult. As an Episcopal School, we have a nurturing, diverse, and inclusive environment. Girls grow in character from the earliest years and learn to respect each others' faith as they grow independently. The mission of St. Mary's Episcopal School is to provide a superior educational experience for girls, which will encourage and enable each student to reach her potential. St. Mary's is a school founded in the Episcopal Church tradition, and in that light, we strive to be a welcoming, respectful, inclusive community. Students, faculty, and staff at St. Mary's transcend all creeds and religions. Our Christian tradition welcomes girls of all faiths and actively fosters their faiths as a joyous and robust basis for living principled lives, being active members of the community, and giving themselves to others. We celebrate – and try to live – the values of being kinder than necessary, being an upstander, and serving our neighbors from a heart of compassion. One of the visible markers of our Episcopal identity is Chapel. Girls in the Middle and Upper Schools attend Chapel every day, while girls in the Early Childhood Center and Lower School attend Chapel once a week. The Chapel serves as a centering moment in our busy world and is a time to gather as a community to celebrate our shared life. We hear stories of faith, stories from our students, and the stories of guests who represent a broad spectrum of the best of the Memphis community. St Mary's strives to create an environment that is comfortable for both Christians and non-Christians, encouraging girls to find the love of God at work in each other and to seek truth in places they might not have otherwise looked. In such a community, acts of kindness are encouraged, and community service is expected. At St. Mary's, we have faith in one another. Students, faculty, and staff respect and help each other at school and beyond. Our Episcopal identity affects the faculty's teachings and informs the decisions made by the staff, administration, and Board of Trustees. The Episcopal tradition teaches us to respect the dignity of everyone we meet, and this allows us to live more fully into our mission: to enable and encourage each student to reach her potential. Each girl is one of a kind, individually gifted, and smart in her way. We believe in guiding each girl to reach her potential. With our 100% girl culture, our students aren't afraid to take risks or make mistakes. Girls thrive in an all-girl environment.

We believe that our separate heritages help define us as individuals, and that our commitment to learning about one another and the larger world unites us as a school community and prepares our students for living in a complex global society.

From its earliest days, St. Andrew's cultivated challenging programs in a joyful and supportive atmosphere, celebrating its students' diversity of interests, backgrounds, and abilities and developing each child's potential in the "four pillars" of academics, arts, athletics, and spiritual life. In nearly 40 years, the school has stayed true to those endeavors while becoming so much more. Are you passionate about science or art, math or language, technology, or social entrepreneurship? Do you love to compete, or perform, or serve other people? Are you looking to attend a terrific college that fits your interests? St. Andrew's can help you reach your potential in all of those areas and more. If you want to be challenged, prepared, and happy in your next school, check out St. Andrew's. The mission of St. Andrew's Episcopal School is to know and inspire each child in an inclusive community dedicated to exceptional teaching, learning, and service. We believe that God calls us to love. And because we view each of our students as a child of God, we care about them not merely as students who need to pass their courses and get on with life, but as complex human beings whose minds, bodies, and spirits need to be nurtured and supported because they are God's hope for a future generation. The love we practice as an Episcopal school reveals itself in sacrifice, patience, truth-telling, and, to quote St. Paul, a willingness to build one another up and bear one another's burdens. It is a love that both sets expectations and practices forgiveness, each in equal measure. In a phrase, we care deeply for each other. As an Episcopal school, we place love at the center of our life together. Each week we come together for chapel. The chapel's purpose is to balance the hectic pace of school life with a weekly rhythm that includes pause, prayer, and reflection on those things and those relationships that matter most in life. The chapel is about making time each week to thank God for what we have, to hold up in prayer each other's needs and concerns, sing in joy and celebration for the blessings of this life, and share stories of meaning and purpose. Perhaps most importantly and most counter-culturally, the chapel is where we regularly remember to be mindful of the presence of something larger than ourselves. For these reasons, our chaplains and our connection to the Episcopal Diocese of Washington are essential parts of our school's identity. We strive to be a welcoming place. Just as love of neighbor is one cornerstone of Episcopal identity, hospitality to the stranger is another. Episcopal schools are intentionally diverse, and we believe that there are many paths to God. Our school welcomes the perspectives of other faiths and knows that we are better for their presence. We invite all who attend and work in our school to seek clarity about their own most profound beliefs and honor their convictions, whatever they may be, more fully and faithfully in their own lives. We believe that authentic interfaith conversation is most fruitful when we are clear about and accurate to who we are. Our Anglican tradition is a beautiful and rich one that we are eager and committed to sharing. In sharing it, we strive mightily to be as graceful and inclusive as possible to make room for all in our community. Service is at the heart of the Christian life and is another hallmark of Episcopal identity. We serve with a deep conviction that we find our true identity as God's people precisely when we abandon our self-centered agendas to encounter and serve the other. In serving the other, we learn that both the server and the served are transformed in unexpected and beautiful ways. Indeed, we learn that in serving the other, we more often than not meet God. This is why service-learning is at the center of our curriculum. Through service, our students discover that they can change the world and that their service and those they serve to change them for the better. We value both faith and reason, and we cherish the life of the mind. Ours is a faith that seeks understanding. We are eager to question and to explore the most fundamental questions in life. This is why the academic study of religion is integral to our curriculum. As an independent Episcopal school, we enjoy the freedom and exercise the responsibility to engage our students in talking openly about God and the good life. We welcome seekers, doubters, and skeptics. We trust that if we build our community on open, honest, inquisitive, careful, and respectful questioning, the truth will emerge, and all of us will be enlightened as a result.

Founded in 1952, St. Andrew thrives on all our students' curiosity, enthusiasm, and diversity. Whether entering our doors as a new Lower School, Middle School, or Upper School student, every child is embraced by our faculty and staff and encouraged to learn, explore, and enjoy the benefits of devoted teachers and administrators who focus on every child, every day. That focus revolves around four main pillars: Scholar, Artist, Athlete, and Servant. All students have the opportunity to explore success in academics, the arts, on the field or courts, and as community servants. St. Andrew's believes in the qualities of all four areas and has developed the curriculum to support a richly diverse, challenging, and invigorating learning environment for all our students. Woven throughout our community and culture is a strong sense of Episcopal identity, perhaps one of the most critical assets at St. Andrew's. We exist to educate and demonstrate and proclaim the unique worth and beauty of all human beings as creations of a loving, empowering God. In that regard, we guide and challenge all our students to build lives of genuine meaning, purpose, and service in the world they will inherit. This vision of an Episcopal school with a strong sense of family and togetherness brought the school to life when it first began in a small house on Pearl Street in 1952. More than 60 years later, with two beautiful campuses in Austin, thirteen grades, and more than 900 students, St. Andrew still strives to inspire, enlighten, and ultimately graduate young men and women who can think critically, are passionate learners, and joyful servant leaders in their communities. The mission of St. Andrew's Episcopal School is to provide an enriched academic program within a Christian environment emphasizing the fulfillment of each student's potential. St. Andrew's seeks students of character and intelligence from diverse ethnic, racial, and socioeconomic backgrounds. The school strives to help young people achieve their potential in intellectual understanding and esthetic sensitivity, physical well-being, athletic prowess, and moral decisiveness to lead productive, responsible lives, not only for themselves but also for their community. St. Andrew's sees diversity as an integral element of community and education and a vital facet of our mission, core values, and Episcopal identity. We believe that community diversity manifests in many ways, including ethnicity, national origin, religion, gender, sexual orientation, socioeconomic status, family composition, and physical ability. In our commitment to attracting, fostering, and celebrating all aspects of diversity, St. Andrew's aims to create an intentional environment of equity and inclusion. We recognize that this work is continually evolving as we address the changing needs of a diverse community and educate our students to engage with a diverse world. We believe that our strength and resilience as a community stem from our commitment to respect every human being's dignity as a child of God. St. Andrew's Episcopal School admits qualified students regardless of race, color, nationality, ethnicity, religion, physical disability, socioeconomic status, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation. It does not discriminate based on race, color, nationality, ethnicity, religion, physical disability, socioeconomic status, sex, gender identity, or sexual orientation in the administration of any policies or programs generally accorded or made available to students. Being an Episcopal school means we are more than an educational institution. It means we are committed to forming and nurturing the whole human being: body, mind, and spirit. Episcopal schools are part of a long tradition of Anglican education that is marked by a balance between faith and reason, or "the head" and "the heart" the building up of a community that is welcoming, diverse, and authentically inclusive, and in which all are honored, supported, and valued Common prayer that draws upon the ancient traditions of the Church and is at the same time creative and relevant and a commitment to the practice of service, the work of justice. These principles and ideals are woven into every aspect of our shared life together and set us apart as a community of learning. We are rooted in the Christian tradition and called by the words of the Baptismal Covenant to hold God at the center of all that we do, to seek and serve God in Christ in all persons, to "strive for justice and peace among all people, and [to] respect the dignity of every human being." We strive to cultivate in our students a love of virtue, a desire to serve others, faith in the power of goodness and grace, and the recognition that they are of infinite value at the same time a part of something bigger than themselves. As we raise scholars, artists, and athletes, we also raise disciples of Jesus who, above all else, love God and love their neighbors.

At Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy, students benefit from the continuity of an academically challenging, college preparatory curriculum that spans preschool through 12th grade. Founded and sustained in the Episcopal tradition, the school's environment reflects Christian values' joy and peace, emphasizing educating the whole child – mind, body, and spirit. Students who "Start Here" build a strong foundation of skills and are prepared to "Go Anywhere" – in college, career, and life. We strive to foster spiritual formation in a grace-filled and inclusive manner. That "inclusive manner" is a distinguishing hallmark of the Anglican approach to education over many centuries. We are Christian, our spiritual underpinnings rooted in the life and teachings of Jesus Christ and the belief that God loves each of us and desires to be in a relationship with us. The Holy Bible informs and guides our experience as a community of faith in regular chapel services and the Holy Eucharist's monthly celebrations. The Episcopal Book of Common Prayer provides the liturgical framework for our worship services. Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy is a private day school for students in preschool through high school. While all students and faculty attend our school chapel services, we desire that all persons of all denominations, non-Christian faith traditions, or of no religious tradition feel embraced, respected, and valued. All are invited to participate actively in our worship services. We encourage all who attend or work at Holy Trinity to seek clarity about their own beliefs and religions and to honor those traditions more fully and faithfully in their own lives. We want everyone at our school to build lives of genuine meaning, purpose, and service in the world they will inherit. A spiritual foundation is essential to such a life. Accordingly, we believe we were created to: Be a community that honors, celebrates, and worships God as the center of life. Be a model of God's love and grace. Serve God in Christ in all persons, regardless of origin, background, ability, or religion. Strive for justice and peace among all people and to respect the dignity of every human being.

TEAM skills include mobile application development, computer programming (coding) keyboarding, 3-D printing, laser cutting, creating digital presentations, and the responsible use of digital media.

As our students grow to appreciate their value to themselves and the school community, they will leave Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy with valuable tools for effective learning and living. The Board of Trustees, students, faculty, staff, and families of Holy Trinity Episcopal Academy share the vision of an academic community based on the love of God, self-respect, respect for one's neighbors, and respect for God's creation, thus fostering moral and ethical decision-making throughout the entire community. The Holy Trinity community affirms this commitment by demonstrating a strong work ethic, embracing others' uniqueness, encouraging a spirit of cooperation, and promoting a sense of fair play.

We are created to serve God in Christ in all persons, regardless of origin, background, ability, or religion. We are created to "strive for justice and peace among all people and [to] respect the dignity of every human being."

Welcome to Episcopal High School, a co-educational, college prep experience that stokes boundless potential with unlimited opportunity. For more than 30 years, we have set the standard in helping students realize their promise. We do that by challenging you to see things in bold, new ways. Here, you will discover everything you can do and everything you are meant to be. Episcopal High School is an institution of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, established to provide a superior education in preparation for college and meaningful life after that. Through a rich offering of academic, spiritual, artistic, and athletic programs, the School provides each student with an opportunity to reach their maximum spiritual, intellectual, social, and ethical potential. Operating as a Christian community within the beliefs and traditions of the Episcopal Church, EHS in its teaching philosophy emphasizes understanding and responding to the individual needs and capabilities of each student. To reflect the community we serve, EHS strives to maintain a student body representing social, economic, ethnic, and academic diversity. Like all family systems, EHS has established those guidelines and boundaries necessary to preserve order, enhance general welfare, and protect individuals and the community. All students are expected to exercise sound judgment in their actions and to show an abiding concern for themselves, groups, and the community itself. Students must value the privilege of being associated with EHS. Parents, too, need to be vigilant, cooperative, and eager to honor and assist the School’s efforts, endeavors, and spirit. Recognizing that “attitude is everything” is a useful guideline to honoring the School community and its decision-making process. Respect and personal honor, reflected in daily attitudes and behaviors, are expected of those who belong to, serve, and support genuine community: EHS will continue to provide a healthy, spiritually based, college-preparatory education for the average-to-exceptional student. EHS derives its identity from being a Christian community within the beliefs and traditions of the Episcopal Church. Furthermore, without compromising its underlying faith, traditions, and practices, the School acknowledges and respects the freedom and variety of religious experiences among its faculty, staff, and students. EHS emphasizes the development of sound character, integrity, and personal honor; consequently, in every aspect of a student’s experience, EHS will instill honesty, respect for self and others, fair play, and appreciation of diversity, and service to the community. EHS admits qualified and motivated college-bound students with average-to-exceptional abilities and a wide range of interests and activities, creating a diverse community of students admitted without regard to race, religion, or social/economic background. The student body must be large enough to ensure the School’s program's viability, but not so large that the School’s family atmosphere is diminished. EHS will recruit, sustain, and appropriately compensate an administration and faculty of the highest academic and moral standards committed to the School’s mission and students' education and nurturing. As a shared responsibility, education succeeds when both School and parents exhibit an understanding of, respect for, and dedication to the individual, the family, and the School community. EHS will cultivate with its students and their families a relationship that will last the rest of their lives. The successful accomplishment of the School’s mission requires facilities appropriate for the School’s activities. By adopting sound policies, providing a robust financial base, and promoting the School on the broader community, the Board of Trustees assumes ultimate responsibility for ensuring that EHS accomplishes its mission. Every Knight is full of brainpower and creative energy. We help our students free it. How? Small, intense classes and state-of-the-art facilities, for starters. Plus, mind-opening courses: Through our Interim Term, students travel to experience Chinese culture first-hand, uncover the complexity of baseball statistics, and design their runway fashion shows. EHS teachers are experts at spotting talent, drawing out strengths, and pushing students to be fearless explorers. They challenge you to question, test, reimagine, and reinvent the world. Through a rich offering of over 180 courses across the Four Pillars, EHS helps students develop independence and self-direction, creative problem-solving skills, intellectual curiosity, persistence, and open-mindedness. Our goal is to equip students with skills and concepts to apply successfully in new situations, question assumptions, evaluate information, and make courageous decisions. Our arts programs teach students to see, experiment, invent, and imagine in ways that are an inherent part of the creative process. Academic classes in religion strengthen both the intellect and the spirit. A thoughtfully designed and varied curriculum in wellness and the many athletic offerings provide students with many opportunities to enhance their physical health. The faculty of 92 men and women, with over 60% holding advanced degrees, is committed to preparing EHS students for college and meaningful life after that. View full school

Episcopal School of Acadiana is a private, coeducational day school for students in grades PreK-3 through 12. Our mission is to instill in every student the habits of scholarship and honor. The ESA Experience is much more significant than you could ever put into words. It is the feeling on the first day of school. It is the smell of sugarcane burning. It is the quiet walk to the chapel or the incredible run at morning practice, the one with the sun rising and the fog hovering over the dew-covered practice fields. It is the outdoor coffeehouse performance of an 8th grader playing a piece by Beethoven. It knows you have been prepared. Prepared for the woods, the interview, the choices you will be faced with in life. It is the hugs you are given or the tears you will shed. We all feel it. And that is permanent to anyone who has ever been a part of it. At ESA, we nurture the twin virtues of freedom and responsibility. We pursue these virtues in our school's daily life by balancing joy and challenge, inventiveness and tradition, respect and informality, trust, and support. We cultivate and celebrate this balance in our vibrant, eclectic community that prizes individual freedom and cooperation. We take responsibility for what we do and say and freely use our talents and strengths to become energetic citizens who sustain our community by making positive contributions. Habits of honor develop in our community, which expects the choice of right over wrong. Our code of honor promotes fairness, truth, and honesty; our commitment to honor affords the freedom necessary for responsibility and the confidence that ideas, ideals, and property are respected. Habits of scholarship develop from the relationship between passionate teachers and creative students. Fueled by the joy of discovery, self-motivated students exhibit an intellectual vitality that strengthens their beliefs yet inspires an open mind. Students develop intellectually in our nurturing environment, where they master skills and knowledge. Students are challenged to learn, think, and question critically. Students take intellectual risks, learn how to express and support their ideas, and are encouraged to defend their positions. Students experience the Episcopal traditions and liturgies, and they are supported in their search to discover a personal relationship with God. Spiritual development follows through sharing meaningful experiences and offering our leadership and talents at ESA and our service to the broader community. Students' physical development is grounded in our physical education curriculum that encourages lifelong health and physical activity. Every student acquires physical skills, learns the value of competition and teamwork, and cultivates sportsmanship ethos. Episcopal schools are bold and experimental places that try to hold on to what seem to be two contradictory goals: to live into their identity as schools that present the traditions and worship of the Episcopal Church in an unapologetic way but to be at the same time places of diversity and inclusion that honor the religious traditions of their students... While resting firm on its traditional understanding of Jesus and his mission, the Episcopal Church of today also holds that we can honor and learn from a variety of other religious and non-religious perspectives. So what do we do when it comes to religion at an Episcopal school? On the one hand, we demonstrate that the foundation of the Episcopal school's thirst for justice and all people's dignity comes from the great heritage of the Christian tradition that honors the life and work of Jesus. And yet, on the other hand, we invite all students to contemplate their spirituality more deeply and intentionally, no matter what religious tradition they adhere to. Experience is everything, and ESA's academic program proves it. From PK3 through 12th grade, our curriculum emphasizes problem-solving, hands-on learning, and critical thinking. Academics at ESA blend content and enrichment to encourage curiosity and inspire learning. Students are active participants, experiencing their education through challenge and exploration. With small classes, every student progresses. Enrichment clusters, electives, and independent studies allow students to learn with others who share their interests. Teachers who are passionate about the subjects they teach set the example for a lifetime of curiosity and growth. They share their love of learning with their students every day. Through place-based learning, students explore and face challenges that broaden their knowledge, teach them to work together, and give them the confidence to succeed. Teachers, advisors, grade-level deans, counselors, chaplains, academic support teachers, and coaches are available to help students navigate academic, social, and extracurricular challenges. On both the Lafayette and Cade campuses, teachers incorporate technology as one of the many tools contributing to learning. Through visual and performing arts, ESA students step into artists' shoes to learn the skills and establish the foundation for exploring their creativity.

We are known for our small classes, highly qualified teachers, and rigorous academics. But rigor alone is not our goal.

Episcopal Collegiate School views technology as an instrument to increase student learning and weave its use into the daily classroom routine seamlessly. We are committed to providing an environment that recognizes the shifts in literacy, information, learning, and innovation and brings all learners' up-to-date access and resources. Students in grades PreK-Kindergarten have access to iPad carts. Students in grades 1 and 2 have access to grade-level Chromebook carts. Our students in grades 3-8 are provided with their Chromebooks, and our students in grades 9-12 are part of our BYOD program. Additionally, we have a Discovery Lab for Early Childhood, Design Labs for Lower School and Middle School, and a Communication Studio for Middle and Upper School students.

We are delighted that you have found us, and we hope to have an opportunity to get to know more about you as well. We are incredibly proud of our School and our students and feel that so many of our community's unique qualities are highlighted in our website's various sections. We also urge you to visit the campus in person. One cannot help but be captivated by the enthusiasm, curiosity, creativity, and genuine warmth of the exceptional group of adults and young people from around the country and the world who live and learn together in this 100 percent boarding community. In this day and age when we are all grappling with an increasing pace of change, competitive environment, and complexity of our shrinking global community, Episcopal is uniquely positioned to prepare our students not just to excel in outstanding colleges and universities but to take their place as caring and gifted leaders on a local and global level. For more than 175 years, our students have thrived in our School's rich array of academic offerings, embraced our commitment to personal honor, ethical leadership, and spiritual growth, and been guided and inspired by the close and caring relationships they develop with the adults here. Preparation for real leadership in this quickly changing future demands that we offer our students even more. Our School's innovative approach to curriculum and program that dives deeply into the opportunities and global connections of Washington, D.C., sets us apart and offers our students educational experience unlike any other. Guided by its founding principles of honor, academic distinction, spiritual growth, and community, Episcopal High School prepares young people with the intellectual and moral courage to pursue lives of ethical leadership and service as citizens of an increasingly connected world. Our students appreciate the Episcopal boarding school experience: graduates leave EHS with the moral integrity, character development, and curiosity for learning necessary for a lifetime of purpose. One recent alumna said, "Choose Episcopal if you are willing to wake up each morning and explore whom you want to be. Choose Episcopal if you want an experience where the most important question asked daily is, 'What is the right thing to do?'" Episcopal aspires to graduate young men and women of integrity who will achieve their goals, serve the world, and persevere in heart and mind challenges. Students learn in small classes and actively participate in all classroom discussions. The School's college preparatory curriculum requires students to take courses in English, foreign languages, mathematics, science, social studies, the arts, computer studies, and theology. To graduate, students must earn a minimum total of twenty-three credits in four years, including credits received for afternoon program activities. Our academic class day consists of seven periods. During that time, a student must take at least five courses. They can select an elective and still have time for a study period during the day. EHS guides young people in pursuing excellence within a caring and supportive community. Small classes invite lively discussion and teach students to think independently, creatively, and critically. Offerings include a wide range of English, mathematics, science, language, social studies, theology, and the arts. The seven-period academic day allows ample time for an elective and study period. Students must earn at least 23 credits in four years to graduate, including credits for afternoon programs. EHS also offers more than 40 Honors and Advanced courses in English, math, social studies, science, languages, and many electives, including interdisciplinary studies. Episcopal High School believes: Honor is both pursuit and an expectation. Students' relationships are known, valued, and supported are critical for academic success and character development, and they flourish most powerfully in a 100 percent residential community. The pursuit of knowledge, not merely its acquisition, is at the core of the academic experience, compelling one to take risks and to embrace and learn from failure. Passions, interests, and personal strengths are discovered when students engage in wide-ranging experiences in academics, athletics, the arts, and all areas of school life. Bridging the classroom with intriguing, real-world experiences amidst the vast resources of Washington, D.C., and beyond makes learning authentic and powerful. Intellectual development and moral growth are best nurtured in a vibrant and diverse learning community where close relationships help us understand, appreciate, and bridge our differences. Spiritual inquiry and service are critical to self-discovery and developing empathy for others. High expectations and rigor, combined with close attention to each child's physical and emotional well-being, lead students to thrive and be their best selves. We are all part of something greater than ourselves with the capacity and responsibility to be a force for good in others' lives. View full school

The P(K)-12 academic curriculum's continuity allows students to seamlessly transition from the child-centered classrooms of the Lower School to the more independent nature of the Middle School to the academically rigorous atmosphere in the Upper School. These components come together to develop the foundation for each student's future far beyond the classroom. At CCES, academic performance is not the sole measure of success. From our 47 diverse athletic teams to our variety of unique service-learning projects to our extensive selection of clubs & extracurriculars, each student can engage in activities that speak to their interests and skills. Our carefully planned programs also foster fundamental characteristics such as leadership, creativity, critical thinking, teamwork, and other traits that prepare each student for a lifetime of success. We offer coherence: a faith foundation that puts knowledge into the perspective of service to humanity lineal connections in subject areas from Primer through the senior year of high school that ensure developmental growth, a code of conduct, and a set of principles permeate all that we do and say. Our core values character, community, excellence, and service-suffuse the P-12 life of the school. We honor our Episcopal tradition and believe that we serve people best and live the most meaningful lives when we dedicate ourselves to the Sovereign Good. We offer accountability: On the frontlines, teachers are dedicated to promoting academic and ethical growth. The chaplaincy knows and loves your children and their parents. Our administrative staff responds to your needs, concerns, and grievances promptly (we want to get it right all the time). We offer an opportunity: extraordinary opportunities to participate in competitive athletics at a high level, with inspirational coaches, and to bask in the pleasure of stage performance under the guidance of gifted arts instructors a culture that celebrates service and requires all students to explore practical service to others and faith-centered programs directed by our chaplains. These multiple and integrated venues that CCES offers students to develop into productive, disciplined, and conscientious people are distinctive in the Upstate. We offer a challenge: no one improves without high standards, motivation, and encouragement. CCES brings the best out of its students because it sets the bar high, provides assistance, and instills the confidence that leads to success. We offer community: perhaps the most appealing trait of CCES is its sense of togetherness. Collateral, parent volunteer groups enrich student activities with their support. The Parents Organization, Booster Club, and Arts Guild do beautiful things for students, mentors, and guests. The alumni association maintains links among our three thousand alums, including seventeen hundred in the Upstate. However, it is an informal activity that saves the day often. This connectedness is explicit when someone is in need. Care abounds. Compassion is tangible. People step up. The network of communication among CCES parents is vital. Faculty and staff extend regular and often unrecognized assistance to colleagues. We take care of one another. Character and competence result from this amalgam of institutional attributes. In addition to an assurance that a CCES graduate will be academically prepared for higher education, we deliberately cultivate six character traits: resilience, or persistence, colloquially known as "grit" collaboration, or teamwork creativity, or problem-solving ability, time management, or work ethic ethics, or compassion, empathy, and integrity and intrinsic motivation, or intellectual curiosity. Combining skills and virtue accounts for an impressive catalog of academic, athletic, and artistic accomplishments. These accomplishments are evidence of high aspirations and enthusiastic support and encouragement to make the most of our abilities. Offering students a unique educational experience, including International Baccalaureate (IB) programs and a challenging college preparatory curriculum, CCES has become synonymous with academic excellence throughout the area. It is evident in the measures of our students' achievements: 100% of our students are accepted into a college, SAT scores consistently outpace national averages by several hundred points, and IB scores exceed world averages. But it is even more evident in the classroom. Dedicated teachers with imagination and high standards make strong connections with their students. Our students are motivated to meet the high expectations of teachers who believe in them. View full school
