Educational Philosophy
Serving PK3-Grade 8, Grace Episcopal Day School provides a comprehensive curriculum built around a challenging academic program including subject matter in the academic areas, the arts, physical education, character education, Christian formation, Spanish, and technology, all of which equip children with the necessary skills to adapt to an ever changing world and inspire them to become life-long learners.
GEDS integrates varied teaching methods with traditional approaches to inspire learning and build confidence.
Teachers are given the freedom to teach in their own unique learning styles and children are encouraged to learn through relevant experiences and hands-on learning.
At Grace Episcopal Day School we celebrate the richness of life in a Christ-centered community, the seriousness of academic achievement, and the joy of childhood.
