St. Paul's is like our second home. The teachers, faculty and staff are tremendously dedicated. You can see the outpour of care and support that's given to the students. The SPES community is so special. The connections we have made with families here are genuine. There is no other place like St. Paul's. We have been part of St. Paul's since our daughters started kindergarten and have enjoyed each and every part of this journey.

I have two children (1st/3rd grade) currently enrolled at St Paul's. My kids started at less conventional entry points and our transition was incredibly smooth. The thought and care that went into making us feel comfortable was extraordinary. We have found the academics to be exceptional as well. The teachers meet the students where they are at and are able to challenge them or offer additional support. The social emotional curriculum is unmatched. It is weaved into every part of the students day. They are encouraged to take risks and feel empowered to do because they feel cared for and seen by their teachers. The thoughtfulness of all parts of this wonderful school is beyond anything we expected. The administrators are incredibly warm and caring as well. The warmth at St Paul's radiates from the top down. Another amazing aspect is the DEIB piece. Kids are encouraged to be themselves and diversity is truly celebrated. We are incredibly grateful to be a part of this wonderful school.

During his time at St Paul’s Episcopal School (4th through 8th grade), our son blossomed beyond what we could have possibly ever imagined. During his first year at the school, we noticed a dramatic increase in his self-awareness, self-assuredness, and expressiveness. Our son needed a more structured...

Our child joined SPES as a middle schooler. Teachers are very kind and dedicated. The school seems to be able to keep teachers for a long time with less turnover than other private schools. That is a good sign. Leadership, teachers and admin team have been very responsive and collaborative in our ch...
