School Notes

  • The Episcopal Day School is a mission of the Church of the Good Shepherd and exists to guide children to discover their place in God's world for lives of wisdom, love, and service. Informed by a Christian perspective, we offer an education that attends to the nurturing and development of the whole child, so that each may form a sure foundation for life.
  • Two things are at the heart of what we do: the individual student and the EDS community.
  • Our small classes allow our nurturing faculty to know each child well, to understand their interests, and design instruction that inspires and engages. We build relationships with students and parents; provide unique and engaging, hands-on experiences; and seek to challenge and support each child to make the most of his or her God-given talents. Through the building of community, we see beyond ourselves and embrace our responsibilities to serve the greater good.
