STATEMENTS and TUITION PAYMENTS
- Student accounts must be current in order to start school in August.
- AutoPay is the easiest and best way to make your tuition payments. AutoPay is invoice year specific and must be set up each year. Make sure you have set up AND “Enabled” AutoPay for 2026-27.
SCHOOL CHOICE SCHOLARSHIP
- If you received a School Choice Scholarship, have submitted the Award ID and have approved your student’s registration in the EMA portal, you should see a credit reflected on your statement. If you do not see a credit AND you have completed all of the required steps, email financialaid@esj.org.
As the new school year begins, we want to remind our community to purchase Episcopal apparel and spirit wear only from approved vendors. From time to time, unauthorized websites and unofficial vendors may claim to offer “Episcopal gear” for sale. However, only school-approved vendors are authorized to produce and sell apparel featuring Episcopal’s name, logos, or branding.
Purchasing from approved vendors helps ensure that products meet our brand standards and that your personal and payment information remains secure.
Episcopal School of Jacksonville’s approved vendors are:
- ESJ Campus Store (located on the Munnerlyn Campus)
- Lands’ End
- Baker’s Sports
Additional approved vendors (such as Crowley Printing, Custom Ink, and others) may be used for specific school group or club apparel with prior approval from Episcopal’s Marketing Communications Office.
If you are ever unsure whether a vendor is authorized, please contact the Marketing Communications Office at info@esj.org before placing an order.

We invite families to join us for this heartwarming celebration as our students share their talents and spread the message of love and joy this Christmas season.
During the upcoming Pre-K/Kindergarten Christmas Chapel, our Pre-K 3 and Pre-K 4 students will delight family and friends with a special Christmas song, bringing the spirit of the season to life through their sweet voices. Their performance is sure to warm hearts and remind us of the true meaning of Christmas.
Adding to the festive atmosphere, Kindergarten students have created beautiful holiday artwork, which will be proudly displayed in the church lobby of St. Paul’s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church.
The Beaches Campus will host a special presentation of Lessons and Carols on Friday, December 12 | 9:00 a.m. at St. Paul’s by-the-Sea Episcopal Church. Lessons and Carols is an annual event presented by Beaches Campus students in first to fifth grade. The Christmas story is told through scripture readings and Christmas songs.
Each grade (first to fourth grade) will sing a song together and fifth grade students act out the story of Christ’s birth. This has been a longstanding tradition at the Beaches Campus that helps to focus students’ hearts on the true spirit of Christmas. Families are welcome to attend!
Thank you for all of the grandparents and special friends that attended on Wednesday, November 5.
