 “What are the principal qualities
that distinguish a school as Episcopal?”
from NAES, the National Association of Episcopal Schools
A Community of Faithfulness
Episcopal schools are created to be communities that honor, celebrate and worship God as the center of life.
A Community that models God’s love and grace
Episcopal schools model serving God in Christ in all persons, regardless of origin, background, ability or religion; strive for justice and peace among all people; and respect the dignity of every human being through Community Service locally, nationally and internationally
A Diverse Community
Episcopal schools are populated by religious, cultural and economic diversity among their students.
A Multi-faith Community in Worship and Prayer
All who attend and work in them — Episcopalians and non-Episcopalians, Christians and non-Christians, people of no faith tradition – attend Daily Chapel and worship services as they seek clarity about their own beliefs and religions and to honor those traditions more fully and faithfully in their own lives.
A Community of empowerment
Above all, Episcopal schools demonstrate and proclaim the unique worth and beauty of all human beings as creations of a loving, empowering God.
By weaving these principles into the very fabric of the school’s overall life, Episcopal schools ensure that their missions are built on the sure foundation of a Christian love that guides and challenges all who attend our schools to build lives of genuine meaning, purpose and service in the world they will inherit.
