Middle School
-
The Episcopal Middle School provides the necessary bridge between the child-centered activity of elementary school and the content-centered activity of high school. The program is designed to meet the diverse intellectual, social, and physical needs of early adolescents. The curriculum is presented by teachers committed to challenging and supporting young teens.
Students complete courses in English, math, history, social studies, science, and foreign language. An elective cycle introduces students to the fine arts, computers, and personal learning strategies.
Numerous opportunities for hands-on learning are built into the curriculum. Trips to such places as Sea Camp in the Florida Keys and ecology centers in the Appalachians provide for academic enrichment as well as involvement in cooperative learning.
Upper School

Upper School students experience a stimulating environment which is intellectually rigorous, yet full of support and encouragement. Episcopal offers over 100 courses in nine academic areas. Before graduating, each student must complete a comprehensive program that includes English, mathematics, science, social studies, foreign languages, religion, computer science, and fine arts. A wide selection of honors and advanced-placement courses are offered in each discipline.
Episcopal students are academically focused. They realize education is key to future success. Each year they participate in a variety of scholastic competitions, and enjoy a reputation for superior achievement at the local, state, and national levels.
Many Episcopal students go beyond the books by participating in a variety of corollary programs such as fine arts trips to Chicago or New York City, Joe Berg seminars, and foreign language study abroad.
