This past Wednesday, our community came together on Mustang Meadow for our third annual Donut Day event. While we take advantage of any chance to come together as a community at Episcopal Day, this recent tradition is extra special in that it not only allows us to gather as a community but also supports a good cause. Proceeds from this year’s event were dedicated to supporting the African Library Project, a cause near and dear to our librarian, Mr. Paulson, who has championed the initiative for nearly a decade.

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."
