Mission & Philosophy

The mission of Grace Episcopal School is to honor the gift of childhood.

We accomplish this mission
by instilling a passion for learning,
teaching the power of goodness, and
valuing every individual as a child of God.

We are committed to outstanding teachers, small classes and an intentional focus on early and elementary education.

Our Philosophy

Founded in 1959, Grace Episcopal School is charged by the Vestry of Grace Episcopal Church to serve its community by providing a Christ-centered, co-educational school to children in preschool through Grade 5. We are a small school by design that aspires to build a strong foundation to prepare students for a lifetime of continued academic, social and emotional success.

Our size and educational philosophy enable teachers and staff to realize the individual potential of each of our students in a loving, nurturing environment. The students and faculty represent a variety of racial, ethnic, economic and religious backgrounds. This diversity is valued and encouraged as we seek to help each child discover the joyful human experience that connects us all.

At the core of our philosophy is a commitment to personal attention and differentiated approaches to learning, empowering students to grow with confidence and self-awareness. Grace’s five “character keys” — honesty, respect, responsibility, compassion and courage — and Episcopal traditions set the tone for an inclusive, kind and patient academic environment. This safe environment fosters a deep-rooted love of community and learning in our students that endures as they move into middle school and beyond.
