Once your application has been submitted, we will provide instructions on how to arrange a tour and a meeting with the Director of Admissions.

Yes. The Episcopal School is a member of the School and Student Service (SSS), an organization that provides financial aid analysis for independent schools. Families have the option to indicate an interest in financial aid on the application form.
If we are able to offer your child a spot for the following school year, your financial aid package will be included with your letter of acceptance and enrollment agreement.
Available spots for new students vary every year, depending upon the number of siblings entering into a particular group. The School maintains a strong student-to-teacher ratio, and strives for an even female-to-male student ratio.
