Athletic Opportunities

Athletic opportunities help the Knights push their limits and understand how to give their best to the team. The lessons learned on the field and on the court open new paths to understanding in the classroom and new opportunities for college and beyond. Episcopal’s winning track record begins with our athletic philosophy and dedication to a student-centered program. Read more about the Knights.

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.
