Student Life
From Chapel to the art room, playground to performance stage, life at EDS is vibrant and joyful. Our students explore, question, create, and grow through hands-on experiences that build both skills and character.
Chapel & Sacred Studies
The Episcopal Day School began as an educational and spiritual extension of Emmanuel Episcopal Church. A goal was to reach out to as many people as possible in the surrounding communities. Episcopal Day School offers families an opportunity to nurture their children’s academic and spiritual development in a loving Christian atmosphere.
Twice a week, students and faculty members gather for Chapel in the Emmanuel Episcopal Church. Our fourth and fifth grade students serve as acolytes and readers in the services. The services are planned around biblical themes, always focusing on God’s love for each individual and His covenant with the community of faith. The church calendar, with its various seasons and festivals, lends excitement to each service.
