Episcopal Academy is one of those schools you have to visit to get a full picture. The campus is beautiful and welcoming with sunlight that radiates through most of it structural spaces. Walking through the courtyard you get a glimpse of what student life looks like as kids make their way to class on their independent journeys. I see creative photography and artwork of students on display in the halls and in the gallery. The course options are abundant with academic rigor and exposure to the ever changing norms in science and technology. I can say with certainty that EA yields scholars and worldly students. I'm a parent who values experience, self awareness and diversity of thought and resume. To me the best parts are the community, curriculum, and sports activities. I'd like to see more diversity.
EA has amazing resources. They provide many opportunities to get involved, focus on giving back and community service, and have a wonderful chapel program. My kids have thrived with the small class sizes, access to teachers, and rigorous academics.
I've been going to Episcopal since I was in 7th Grade (2019) and it definitely took a lot of opening up to. Once I started Upper School, I began to accept the community, started going to all the outings, and realized that there is a good culture. Its a well-diverse institution with clubs for all minorities.
