Episcopal Identity
Why an Episcopal School?Attending an Episcopal School offers many benefits and engenders a special sense of community not found at all schools. St. Martin’s Episcopal School is a member of the National Association of Episcopal Schools (NAES). NAES member schools create space where everyone in the school community is invited to experience God’s love through worship, education, and service to others. It is the deep conviction of the Episcopal faith that Jesus’ primary message was one of love and acceptance, honoring the dignity of every human being. An Episcopal education at St. Martin’s equips students with the tools they need to excel academically, serve their communities, and lead lives grounded in compassion and respect for all, setting them on a path toward a bright and purposeful future.
Worship
As an Episcopal school, prayer is the source and summit of our common life together. Daily devotions and a time for reflection are offered in each homeroom, while community prayer, music, and movement extend into our weekly chapel services. Chapel services are crafted with the students’ stage of development in mind. The services are creative, inclusive, and draw fully upon the liturgical resources of The Episcopal Church.
Religious Education
Students participate in weekly religion classes grounded in the Episcopal faith. Episcopal schools are places where students are encouraged to think, explore and ask questions about our world, ourselves, others and God. The integration of faith-based teachings encourages students to develop a strong moral compass
Service
St. Martin’s strives to be a place where everyone in the school community can learn from the example of Jesus. Following his example, everyone in the school community is encouraged to pray for and help others through community service and division-led service-learning. At a young age, students begin to develop a moral and ethical vocabulary of compassion that reaches out and into our neighborhood, city, and world.
Growth
Students grow spiritually through the school’s common life together. At St. Martin’s, we care for the whole person - body, mind, and spirit. We believe that nurturing students through joyful learning and moral development grounded in the grace and love of God equips students with the tools they need to excel academically, serve their communities, and lead lives grounded in compassion and respect for all, setting them on a path towards a bright and purposeful future.
