Greenbrier Episcopal School is an independent, coeducational day school enrolling children in grades PreK through 8.
Small in size, the school’s program is characterized by high academic expectations, personal attention, and respect for the dignity of every human being.
As an independent Episcopal day school, we embrace the rich tradition and values of faith-based Episcopal education in America.
Although we are a traditional school in our emphasis on manners, morals and civility, our curriculum is innovative and student centered with an emphasis on independent thinking and problem solving.
Our students mature into confident, self-directed learners who recognize the value of collaboration and cooperation in the learning environment.
We prepare our students for later education and for life by giving them an appreciation for beauty, a desire for truth and the capacity to love themselves and those around them.
Greenbrier Episcopal School does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national and ethnic origin in administration of its educational policies, admissions policies, and financial assistance programs.
Both scholarship, an interest in the arts, performance activity, and a strong work ethic contribute to the admission process.
