Welcome…            

to the Episcopal Day School webpage!  When we opened our doors in 1959, we began a tradition of academic excellence that continues to this day. We believe the primary purpose of our school is to provide quality education in a Christian environment. We emphasize spiritual and moral values as well as academic studies.  Please click on the links to the left to learn more about “educating the mind, body, and spirit” at the Episcopal Day School!
