The Episcopal School of Dallas

“We wanted our children to be in an environment that was the right fit for them and ESD was that school.”

“During our visit, we noticed all of the smiling students and the interactive learning environment. We evaluated ESD against all of the other private schools and thought ESD was the best fit for our kids.”

“ESD has much smaller class sizes versus public school which is a better learning environment for me.”

“The tight-knit family-like community was very apparent on my visit. More challenging academics and more competitive sports were a big plus in my decision making.”

“I went to a private school and know the value of a good education, and I knew that ESD would provide our children with that. Our children felt the most comfortable and welcomed at ESD.”

“We were looking for a smaller and warmer environment for our children than they were experiencing in public school. Our goal was to get them the best academic preparation for college.”

“Confidence! Our daughters feel supported by their teachers. Their teachers are in their corner encouraging them and inspiring them. The learning in math, reading, Spanish, etc. that we’ve seen over just a few years at ESD has been significant. Feeling supported by their teachers and peers has helped them grow significantly.”

“CONFIDENCE! Both of our girls are quiet and relatively shy. They are the kids that seldom raise their hands, even if they know the answer. We have seen them gain confidence, become more assertive, and express their curiosities and questions.”

“We stay because we couldn’t be any happier! Every year our daughters ask if they can go back. They’ve made some wonderful friends and so have we. When we were a new family, we felt we were welcomed warmly by the current families as well as teachers and administration. Our daughters have LOVED their teachers. The ESD team puts a great deal of thought and care into decisions made about class/teacher selection and assignments. Each year so far, we’ve found a great fit between our daughters and their respective teachers.”

“We love it! Our girls started in Beginner and Kinder at ESD. It is such a nurturing environment and the lower school teachers we’ve been fortunate enough to have were/are amazing across the board. I love the message the girls get during daily chapel and it is regularly a topic of conversation at the dinner table. A recurring theme in our praise for ESD is the School Community. In addition to the girls, Alexa and I have developed great friendships through the school.”

“My husband knew right away that ESD was the best choice. I didn’t know any families at ESD and for me, it was important to talk with current families to hear first-hand about their experiences. I talked with several people and heard such positive things about the school and community. The fact that people were willing to take time and share their thoughts with me was important. That paired with caring and compassionate teachers we met while touring and learning more about the school helped me make what turned out to be a fantastic choice for not only our daughters, but our family as a whole.”

“During our initial tours and interactions with faculty, staff and current families it just “clicked” for me and became immediately apparent it was the best fit for our girls. We were fortunate to have a number of options. But, for me, ESD was (and continues to be) the perfect place for our girls.”

“We were looking for a faith-based co-ed school with strong academics and a kind, caring community. We found that at ESD! Statistics showed us the exceptional academic program ESD offered. We were connected with current families and through talking with them learned about the engaged and warm parent community. It was talking with these moms who collectively spent hours talking with me about their ESD experience that helped me decide ESD was where we wanted to be … and I’m so glad we made that decision! It was absolutely the right and best choice for us!”

“We chose ESD for a number of reasons. A great education was first and foremost. But the balance between a rigorous curriculum and a nurturing environment was very important. Faith based ideals, focus on community service and what really solidified our decision … the school community. These combined, made ESD the right home for our girls.”
