Testimonials
“What really stands out for us is the amazing group of teachers and staff. We think they personify the mission of Episcopal Day: inspiring, challenging, and preparing students in their elementary and middle school years, in a caring and supportive environment. We’ve seen our kids thrive and grow each year, starting from Pre-K and now entering 8th grade!”
— McLaughlin Family
“Episcopal Day School of St. Matthew is a warm community that extends well beyond the walls of the school. They do such a great job of integrating families through their many events and school traditions, that we have come to view the faculty, administrators, and all the other parents as part of our big extended family.“
— Evangelista Family
“We felt instantly embraced whether it was our son’s 7th-grade advisor going the extra mile to expand his math horizons or our other son’s 4th-grade teacher making the incredible effort to attend one of his lacrosse games (with homemade signs and a cowbell to boot). We always felt our kids were a part of a unique environment that is diverse, inclusive, and fosters a sense of deeply felt belonging.”
— Quarles Family
"Episcopal Day has been a phenomenal school for our family. Since Kindergarten, we've seen our daughter grow from a shy student who was hesitant to participate in groups, to a curious and confident 8-year-old who loves going to school every morning and is always reading. The dedication of the teachers and small class sizes have allowed our daughter to blossom in an environment that can be individualized to her needs. There's a natural warmth in this community—from the Head of School to the Front Desk Manager—that makes the school seem like a second home. We cherish the strong connections we've made with other school families and feel fortunate to have chosen the right school for our daughter."
— Richey Family
"Our experience at Episcopal Day has been remarkable. Our son, Charlie started in the Pre-K program in 2021. From the very first moment he stepped foot in his classroom, Charlie and our family immediately felt connected to this wonderful community of educators, families, and students. The level of experiences, exploration, discussions, learning, and friendships that happen every day in the classrooms and playground at Charles House as well as on the main Baldwin Campus are extraordinary and invaluable. As a family we look forward to all the years to come at Episcopal Day."
— Calihan Family
"Our family has felt warmly welcomed by the Episcopal Day community. The school has created an environment where our middle schooler has clearly been inspired by her teachers to dive deep into her academic inquiries, try new things, and come to know herself with greater depth. That you hold space for this for your students in general is amazing, but I think it is especially remarkable during the middle school years! We are so grateful."
- Keintz Family
"Episcopal Day School of St. Matthew has been the perfect school for our two children, Theo and Leia. It's been an environment that has not only fostered their education, but also grown their characters. Teachers here can really get to know each student personally. The community feels extremely warm and well connected to each other. What impressed us the most was seeing how well-spoken and confident the students are at the school. Episcopal Day finds many unique opportunities for them to present themselves in front of their class, school and community. It's an amazing way to build important life skills."
