Our Episcopal Identity
Our Episcopal identity is the cornerstone of our mission and values, shaping a unique education in mind, body, and spirit. This identity weaves a rich tapestry of ideals that define our institution, guide our teaching, and enhance our community life. Grounded in respect, reverence, and responsibility, our Episcopal identity creates an environment where students are inspired to explore their faith, build moral character, and develop empathy to engage deeply with others. By integrating these values, we foster a sense of community and purpose, preparing our students to be compassionate leaders in an increasingly diverse world.

The Four Pillars of Our Episcopal Identity
The National Association of Episcopal Schools outlines four core pillars of Episcopal Identity, guiding our mission and vision with inspiring principles and practices. This work is seen in a myriad of ways on any given day. Through it, we find meaning, purpose, and God’s grace at work all around us.
Chapel
is an intentional gathering for singing, prayer, reflection, and meditation. Though it’s rooted in the Episcopal tradition, one doesn’t need to be an Episcopalian to participate or appreciate the work we do in chapel. We gather to share our gifts, reflect on our experiences, bear one another’s burdens, and celebrate our mutual joy.
Community Life
is probably the most challenging and difficult human endeavor. With dedication, it can be transformative. It’s the hard work of respecting the dignity of every person in thought, word, and action. We acknowledge and honor our differences, as we cherish what we share in common.
Formation and Study
Episcopal schools see the cultivation of one’s intellectual mind and the nurturing of the soul not as distinct but as deeply connected. Formation and study are integral to what we do on a daily basis. In our Religious Studies curriculum and beyond we reflect on the human story and our place in it. As we consider the good, we ask “Who is God?” and “Who is my neighbor?”
Justice
The last pillar of Episcopal identity has to do with justice. Borrowing from our own mission statement, we ask the question “How are we preparing students to live principled and fulfilling lives of leadership and service?” In short, we are working to equip Wildcats to make things better not for themselves alone but for others as they make their way in the world. We seek to help each child discover his or her individual gifts for leading and service.
