About Episcopal Day School

For almost five decades, Episcopal Day School located in Southern Pines, North Carolina, has been providing quality education to the children of families in this area. At EDS, we  believe the primary purpose of the school is to provide quality education in a Christian environment. EDS emphasizes spiritual and moral values as well as academic studies.

Our Mission

The mission of Episcopal Day School is to provide a strong foundation for life long learning in a Christian community that treasures courage, leadership and excellence.

Student Body

The student body consists of approximately 213 students. The students are heterogeneously grouped into 15 classrooms which include two classrooms per grade level from the three-year old level through the third grade and one classroom per grade level in fourth and fifth.  

Curriculum

Our curriculum has eight essential components: an academic core, fine arts, physical education, guidance, library, computer, spiritual enrichment, and a resource program. The core subjects include communication (listening, speaking, reading and writing) mathematics, science and social studies. Fine arts include art, music and Spanish. The physical education - program provides instruction for building a healthy body, mind and character in every student. The guidance program is a developmental program which reaches all students through weekly classroom visits by the school counselor.  The library program enhances the students' enthusiasm for reading and literature. The computer program teaches the basics of technology and provides an additional tool to be used in the learning process. Spiritual values and Christian ethics are emphasized in the Chapel services, Sacred Studies and throughout the school day.

The Episcopal Day School has a resource program available to students with special needs. Our resource staff works daily with children needing remedial assistance and those who are academically gifted. The resource program is designed to help all students reach their full potential.
