As we focus on Building Community, we hope you’ll join us for the numerous learning opportunities available to families this year.

Independent Schools Association of Central States Parent Series

Episcopal is a community of lifelong learners, and with that in mind, we have partnered with the Independent Schools Association of the Central States (ISACS) and the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools to offer independent school families access to a six-part parent education series.

This series features renowned experts and offers guidance and support across all child development aspects. The series begins in September, and webinar recordings will remain available to families for several months after each presentation.
