Artistic Expression

Lessons learned on the stage and as a member of a dance ensemble help students develop the confidence and empathy to make a difference in the world. As students learn the notes of a song and how to mix colors to create the perfect shade, they are also developing the skills and artistic discipline to express themselves. The arts are a foundational and meaningful component of the Episcopal experience. Learn more about the range of inspiring arts opportunities available.

Spirituality

At Episcopal, the principles of meaningful school worship, rich community life, foundational religious education and striving for social justice are woven into the very fabric of the overall student experience. It is evident as Middle and Upper School students express themselves through service learning and it is witnessed in Lower School Morning Meeting as children raise their voices in song.
