Four Pillars
Episcopal’s challenging curriculum is thoughtfully designed to prepare students to be successful at some of the most selective universities in the country. Learner-centered instruction is at the heart of our curriculum, taught by expert faculty. Harkness instruction prepares students for college. An Episcopal education instills a love of lifelong learning and respect for the dignity of every human being. Our students are inspired academically to discover their passions while finding balance across our Four Pillars.
Episcopal fields more than 80 teams in 18 sports for third through twelfth grades. Through dedication and teamwork, Episcopal programs annually compete for conference district, regional, and state championships. In 2021-2022 24 of 26 varsity teams advanced to regional postseason play. Episcopal boasts some of the best athletic facilities in the state, a key component in preparing our student-athletes to compete at the highest level. Over 50 members of the Classes of 2021 and 2022 are now competing at the collegiate level.
Fine Arts at Episcopal are academically challenging and creatively stimulating. Our Fine Arts faculty and staff, all artists in their own right, joyfully share their respective wisdom, and create together with bright minds, nimble bodies and imaginative souls. In the classroom, students study the theory and history of art, music, dance and theatre. On the stage and in the studio, they create. More than a dozen students each year head to college for fine arts specific programs, including dance, film, theatre, music, and musical theatre.
The Episcopal experience is framed by the understanding that spiritual growth is an essential part of human growth. In keeping with the tradition of the Episcopal Church, we require our students to think critically, explore their individual faiths, learn by questioning, and accept that knowledge of the world and spiritual development are eternally intertwined.
