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.

“Arrrray Day” recently transformed Third Grade math into a high-spirited pirate experience. As part of their curriculum, students are learning how arrays lay the groundwork for multiplication, and this hands-on celebration helped everything click. Pirate costumes, treasure maps, teamwork, and even a surprise visit from Dr. K, who bravely walked the plank, made the lesson absolutely unforgettable. It was another bright snapshot of joyful learning in action at PES.
Palisades Episcopal School is delighted to introduce Melissa Singh, whose warmth, versatility, and genuine love for children have made her an invaluable part of our community.
Born and raised in New York, Melissa brings a rich background in education, holding a bachelor’s degree in Special Education and a master’s degree in Elementary Education. After four years in the classroom, she stepped into leadership as a preschool and daycare director before moving to Charlotte last year.
At PES, she pours her heart into every role she takes on. Melissa serves across front desk administration, safety and security, technology coordination and support, and as assistant to the Middle School Director. She also teaches writing to our 5th and 6th grade students. It’s a full plate that she carries with remarkable grace, and she’ll tell you she wouldn’t have it any other way.
Outside of school, Melissa loves to travel, cook with the confidence of a Michelin-trained chef, and spend time with family and friends.
We are so grateful for the many ways she elevates and supports our students each day.
What an extraordinary season of generosity this has been! Our community rallied in a way that reflects the very heart of PES, and we are deeply grateful.
