Overview
Denver Academy Of Torah serves 135 students in grades Kindergarten-12, is a member of the State or regional independent school association and the Other school association(s).
The student:teacher of Denver Academy Of Torah is 6:1 and the school's religious affiliation is Jewish.
As Birmingham's only independent, Episcopal, JPK-8th grade school, Advent Episcopal School's mission is to provide students with a superior education in a caring, Christian environment to prepare them for a life of learning, leadership, and service.
The Advent -- true to its name -- is a beginning; the beginning of an adventure in learning that starts in our junior pre-kindergarten program and progresses through eighth grade to give each individual child a firm academic foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Yet, we believe that the mental development of a child cannot be isolated from his or her physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
In a big, rapidly changing world, The Advent provides the stability of a wholesome, caring, small-school environment where each child can experience the total learning process - thinking, planning, and problem solving - in an atmosphere of enthusiasm.
This has been our commitment since we were founded in 1950. Today, we are just as committed as ever.
