Rating 4.7 out of 5 151 reviews
The education is challenging and prepares prepares the student to be successful in college. EA students also have the opportunity to grow and learn outside the classroom, and are encouraged to find their passion by taking advantage of the extensive extracurricular activities. Whether it’s arts, theater, athletics, community service, debate, robotics, travel, Episcopal offers it all. This learning and growing happens within a supportive and nurturing community. Each of my children built special relationships with teachers who served as coaches, club leaders, chaperones on school sponsored trips or simply caring mentors. And the foundation for that community is chapel, a time when the students come together to reflect and learn. Although rooted in Christianity, the chapel program is welcoming and inclusive and gives the students the opportunity to share their beliefs with each other. EA shaped my children and provided them with a foundation for future success.
Since my first year at Episcopal as a freshman, I have always felt warmly embraced by the community. The teachers are consistently supportive, and I believe this school offers us students the best opportunities. The aspect I particularly appreciate about Episcopal is the strong bond among the students. It is gratifying to come together for events like EA/AIS/HA Day and Spirit Week. While I wish Episcopal would give more focus to the arts compared to their sports programs, as an active participant in the drama programs and a friend to many students involved in art contests, I can confidently say that we have talented and dedicated individuals in the arts. Nevertheless, I still have no regrets about choosing The Episcopal Academy and eagerly anticipate what lies ahead.
My son and daughter are current EA students. They started in Kindergarten and Pre-K, and our family has been at the school for four years. I cannot express the positive impact that Episcopal has had on our family. Both of our children are immersed in academics and extracurricular activities that challenge and excite them, and they truly look forward to going to school each day. Perhaps most importantly, they are surrounded by supportive teachers, coaches and positive role models. The school community is warm, welcoming and inclusive; we as parents have met many wonderful families who have become our friends. I feel very fortunate to be at Episcopal and recommend it wholeheartedly.
