What makes Episcopal so exceptional is that we challenge our students to truly look within and look beyond. Our students not only grow in their skills and abilities in their time at ESJ, but they also grow in their awareness of God’s immeasurable love and in their compassion for one another.

Welcome from the Chaplain's Office!

It is a great joy to be Chaplain for a school community which truly believes that spiritual growth is an essential part of human growth. What makes Episcopal so exceptional is that we challenge our students to truly look within and look beyond. Our students not only grow in their skills and abilities in their time at ESJ, but they also grow in their awareness of God’s immeasurable love and in their compassion for one another. ESJ is rooted in the values and traditions of The Episcopal Church—we honor our common life together in weekly worship and we weave our spiritual identity in to all that takes place on our campus.

In keeping with the great tradition of Episcopal schools, ESJ welcomes all faiths and all people. What I ask of every student of every faith here is that they make a commitment to grow more fully in their own tradition. More importantly, I ask that they come to see one another as brothers and sisters, as children of the same God and that they take care of each other as family members would.

Welcome to the Episcopal family!
