Intimate class sizes and low student-teacher ratios are at the heart of joyful learning here at Palisades Episcopal School. Ours is a unique learning environment that fosters curiosity and creativity in your child. At PES, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. We celebrate individual strengths and talents to help students find a lifelong love of learning and a path that amplifies their unique gifts.

Talk with Mrs. Zaino about PES and you’ll hear an immediate warmth. There’s a deep appreciation for the way this school encourages confidence, imagination, and a love of learning in every child. The music room is just one place where that growth takes root, but it’s felt across the entire campus.

Giving to the PES Fund is her way of honoring that mission. It reflects a belief in the programs, the people, and the everyday moments that make this community feel like home. It’s a quiet expression of gratitude for a place where children are known, supported, and inspired.
