A private pre-K through 12th-grade college preparatory school, St. Thomas’ Episcopal School educates the whole student through academics, arts, athletics, extracurricular activities and Christian values. Although St. Thomas’ Episcopal accepts students of all faiths, over 650 students are required to attend a daily half-hour chapel session. Latin is also required throughout the fourth and eighth grades.
From first to eighth grade, St. Thomas’ Episcopal has single-gender classes. As students mature and prepare for college, they participate in co-ed classes from ninth to 12th grades. For all students, the arts are essential to the St. Thomas’ Episcopal experience. Student creativity is nurtured and explored through visual arts, theater, choir, orchestra and the Scottish Arts program.
Inspired by the tradition, discipline and prestige of the pipe bands of the British Army, the school’s founder set up the Scottish Arts program in the late 1950s. All students take Highland Dance in the lower grades and those who want to continue can take after-school classes to prepare for local, regional, national and international competitions. The Pipe Band also competes internationally and immerses students in Scottish piping and drumming.
St. Thomas’ Episcopal School’s academics are world-class. It offers 22 Advanced Placement courses beginning in 10th grade. A full slate of athletics rounds out the student experience at this school.

I remember my first day there and found that the people were very welcoming. The classes were challenging for me at first, but with the help of my new classmates and teachers, I was able to adjust quickly.

St. Thomas’ Episcopal School provided me a superior education, with mandatory classes, exposing me to education the vast majority of people will never experience.
