Director's Comments
Question to director: Do you have any additional thoughts on what parents should consider when looking at your school? Is there any advice that you would like to provide to prospective parents?
Epiphany School is an urban school that shares a lovely campus with the Epiphany Church in a residential setting. The School is housed in six separate buildings that include, in addition to the classrooms, a library, a music room, a gymnasium, an art studio, a learning skills center and a large assembly space. Starting with Pre-Kindergarten, Epiphany students learn to navigate the various campus buildings. In addition, Epiphany has three large outdoor play spaces, each with age-appropriate play equipment. There are three recesses when all of our students enjoy playing with a variety of age groups. The campus allows students to have an ever-increasing sense of responsibility and freedom though never too far from the watchful eyes of an adult. (Excerpted from school website)
