The mission of The Episcopal Day School is to nurture each child so that he/she may learn to love knowledge, seek truth, and respect his/her Creator and all that He created.

We further believe in guiding each child in his / her spiritual growth, fostering a love for learning, and instilling in each child a respect for himself and others.
It is our intent that these beliefs be accomplished within the context of a Christian community where each person - student, teacher, administrator, and staff member - is seen and valued as a child of God, and where truth and the freedom which truth provides will ever be sought.
