Episcopal Day on Ice brought our community together in downtown San Mateo’s Central Park for a festive tradition celebrating connection, joy, and the vibrant spirit of our city. 

As an Episcopal school grounded in inclusion and inquiry, we intentionally celebrate and learn about holidays that our students celebrate, while also giving students the tools to understand different identities and cultures. We know that building a deep sense of belonging in community does not happen accidentally; it happens through purposeful education and celebration.  

At Episcopal Day, we steadfastly believe that our math program should create thinkers, not calculators. It was our pleasure to share with our families some of the ways we bring that belief to life.

As they move through their years in our school, our students themselves surpass us in this knowledge. There is no greater pride for us than watching them become reflective, aware self-advocates, learning how they think and how they learn. We know they will carry this confident self-knowledge and curiosity with them long after they leave Episcopal Day School.

We are thrilled to introduce Dr. Brandon Kraft as our new Associate Head of School for Academics

At Episcopal Day School, service to others isn't just a core value—it's the heart of our community and a reflection of the Episcopal values that guide us in our mission. Throughout the 2023-2024 school year, our students embarked on an array of service learning and community service projects that not only enriched their educational experiences but also made a tangible difference in the world around them.

As the 2023-2024 school year came to a close, we found ourselves reflecting on an incredible journey marked by growth, achievement, and a deep sense of community. Our inspiring eighth grade class truly showcased the value of our program, reminding us of the profound impact of a connected community and a program focused on developing future agents of change.

May Day at Episcopal Day is always something special, and this year’s celebration was an absolute blast! We had so much fun honoring our amazing eighth graders and welcoming spring with joy, laughter, and dance! 

At Episcopal Day, the stage isn't just a platform—it's a launchpad for creativity, collaboration, and confidence. This year, our talented students have taken to the stage in two incredible productions, showcasing their talents, skills, musical and artistic prowess, and the importance of dramatic arts in building creative leaders. 

Our annual spring party was a 'roaring' good time!

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.
