Episcopal Day School vs. Kenmont Montessori School

The mission of The Episcopal Day School is to nurture each child so that he/she may learn to love knowledge, seek truth, and respect his/her Creator and all that He created.

The Episcopal Day School believes in implementing a strong academic program with particular emphasis on the basic academic skills and encouraging each child to strive to attain his / her maximum potential.

We further believe in guiding each child in his / her spiritual growth, fostering a love for learning, and instilling in each child a respect for himself and others.

It is our intent that these beliefs be accomplished within the context of a Christian community where each person - student, teacher, administrator, and staff member - is seen and valued as a child of God, and where truth and the freedom which truth provides will ever be sought.

EDS provides a student-centered environment that addresses the academic, physical, emotional, and social needs of each student by motivating and empowering each child to strive to attain his/her maximum potential.

The foundation of the Montessori approach is based on the premise that education should be an aid to life.

In order to develop a child's physical, intellectual, and spiritual powers to the fullest, children must have freedom.

This freedom is achieved through order and self discipline. Respect for a child's personality and trust is the inner potentialities are essential to self esteem and creating a complete adult.
