Academics

Small classes combined with the talents of some of the finest teachers in this region nurture our students’ natural curiosity and enthusiasm. We strive to instill a love of learning at an early age and to establish a strong educational foundation for the future success of our students through academics.

View Curriculum Guide

Our course of study includes a literary based language arts program, the University of Chicago’s Everyday Math through fifth grade, experiential laboratory science, and social studies. World language instruction begins in Junior Kindergarten. Using our extensive library collections and two computer labs, Episcopal students learn to access information and develop critical research and communication strategies.

Religion

All students attend a daily chapel service open to students of various faiths. The Service of Daily Morning Prayer from the Book of Common Prayer is adapted to be age appropriate for each setting. Holy Eucharist is celebrated once a month. Both services are long-standing Anglican traditions. Our chaplain leads these services.

All Are Welcome Here

It is not the intent of the school to convert non-Episcopalian students. Members of other faiths and denominations are invited to share their traditions, celebrate holidays and invite their religious leaders to be involved in the chapel services.

National Junior Honor Society

Students accepted into the National Junior Honor Society (NJHS) will be sworn in during a Spring induction ceremony, where they are recognized for their excellence in scholarship, leadership, service, character, and citizenship.  The students are expected to maintain these standards while actively participating in chapter activities such as community service projects and leadership roles. We encourage personal growth through community engagement and a foundation for future academic pursuits.

“At ESK, our community, through daily chapel and our Tribes Agreements, reminds us that faith is lived out in love. We want our students to see themselves as beloved children of God, called to use their gifts with courage and compassion, whether in their homes, their classrooms, or the wider world.”

-Pastor Laura Henrik, Chaplain
