• Step 3 - Register for a Episcopal Values, Diversity & Leadership virtual session

  Episcopal school values are an appreciation and celebration of diverse backgrounds and cultures. For your greater understanding, we created this family-friendly session to show how our children's lives, education, and experiences are enhanced by this diversity. 

   

  We believe that a path to responsibility, purpose, and spirit starts with inquiry. So we ask you to bring your questions to us. You might have wondered; Do you only study Christianity? What is it like to go to Chapel? Do you have to be Episcopal to attend?

   

  Chaplin Amber Evans and our Director of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion, Cheryl Adenekan look forward to answering these questions. And more are encouraged.

• Step 4 - Register for a Campus Tour

  Visit our campus and see where your child will spend their high-spirited days at our school.

It completes with Q & A hosted by our Division Director and current 8th graders. This event is for parents only, and all visitors must wear face masks.
