Begin With
Grace
Welcome to Grace Episcopal School, a co-educational independent school for children ages 3 through Grade 5. A small school raising confident learners with big hearts, we invite you to begin with Grace where the joys of learning, growing and leading are valued above all.
Three simple words that capture the journey of a Grace education.
Begin with Grace
We celebrate the early years because we believe a strong foundation shapes a lifetime of learning. At Grace, we nurture enthusiastic readers through a deep commitment to literacy, build confidence and mathematical fluency with our Math in Focus curriculum, and intentionally support every child’s social-emotional growth. Guided by our Character Keys, students develop empathy, courage, and the confidence to become thoughtful leaders. As a school devoted to the early years, we understand childhood, and we believe these formative years deserve to be filled with joy, wonder, and purpose.
Grow with Grace
At Grace, every child is known, valued, and encouraged to grow. As students progress through each grade, our teachers develop a deep understanding of their strengths, interests, and individual needs. Small class sizes, meaningful relationships, and personalized instruction allow us to challenge, support, and celebrate every child along the way.
From the preschooler taking brave first steps into the classroom to the confident fifth grader welcoming prospective families as a student ambassador, we have the privilege of watching each child grow in confidence, character, and leadership.
Lead with Grace
Our oldest students naturally step into meaningful leadership roles. As the leaders of our school community, they serve as mentors, buddies, ambassadors, and role models for our younger students, building confidence while learning the value of responsibility, service, and compassion.
Beginning in third grade, students have increasing opportunities to lead and connect with younger grades through our buddy program and other leadership experiences. These relationships create a close-knit community where children feel known, supported, and inspired, not only to achieve their own goals, but also to celebrate the successes of others.
