Grace Episcopal Day School

Grades: P, K-5 · Type: Day Only · Student Body: Co-ed 

Founded in 1960, Grace Episcopal Day School is the parish day school of Grace Episcopal Church in Silver Spring, Maryland. The school offers programs grounded in the Episcopal tradition, for preschool through grade five at two campuses in Silver Spring and Kensington and enrolls a diverse population of approximately 100 students. In the fall of 2012 the early childhood program will be integrated into the Kensington campus. 

Our mission shows in the care and warmth visitors witness here and students and staff feel every day. It lives in students who jump out of bed in the morning eager to come to school, in an approach to learning that cultivates a culture of thinking, in teachers committed to continual professional development. It shows in our diversity – in students, teachers, and families of many faiths, cultures, and colors who all belong as equals to this community. It shows in bold artistic displays and student public speaking, in the service learning experiences that connect us to the broader community, and in children and families who know that strength of character – humility, resilience, empathy, and courage – is just as important as academic excellence.
