Palisades Episcopal School (PES) is an accredited,
Christ-centered independent day school serving 190 students in
Junior Kindergarten 8th grade on a 10-acre campus in Southwest
Mecklenburg County. As a liberal arts, neo-classical institution,
PES offers students opportunities for integrated study by
seamlessly weaving together scientific, cultural, historical, and
literary investigations. With mastery of skills as the goal, rather
than just memorization of facts, a PES student is provided time to
think, discuss, process and apply their knowledge, which in turn
promotes intellectual curiosity and creates lifelong learners.
Intimate class sizes and low teacher-student ratios, allow for
differentiated instruction across every grade. Service integration
helps students develop citizenship skills and fosters values of
integrity, courage, responsibility, compassion, and hard work. PES
students graduate knowing how to connect their heads to their
hearts and are academically prepared for high school and
beyond.
