School Notes

  • St Paul's Episcopal School is dedicated to instilling in our children strength of intellect and strength of character in a Christian environment that is positive, respectful, and familial. We encourage our students to strive to do their best, to be humane, and to appreciate the beauty of life. At St. Pauls, we believe passionately that small is good. Our limited size gives us the opportunity to educate children in an atmosphere that is close-knit and nurturing, without undue pressures or competitiveness. It is this atmosphere that allows us to develop the full potential that exists within each child. We serve children of all socio-economic groups, races, and religions because we want our children to see and recognize the beauty inherent in a richly varied and diverse world. We teach a core curriculum that gives our students the knowledge and skills to thrive in a technological and rapidly changing world. But we are interested in more than learning.
