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.
PES is accredited by the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS). In addition, PES is a proud member of the North Carolina Association of Independent Schools (NCAIS), the National Association of Independent Schools (NAIS), the Southern Association of Independent Schools (SAIS) and the National Association of Episcopal Schools (NAES).
“What makes PES so special?” Our very own Mr. Cox says it best: it’s the heart of this community and the way every child is truly known, loved, and inspired to grow. 💙
The PES Fund fuels that mission every day, from the teachers who pour into our students to the programs that make learning come alive!
Let’s come together to reach 100% school-wide participation and show what’s possible when every family gives with gratitude. Every gift matters, because every child does!
We love seeing our alumni shine!
PES alumnus Krish Verma ('24) recently had the incredible opportunity to interview former Carolina Panthers quarterback Jake Delhomme and take part in his first broadcasting shadowing experience with Anish Shroff during the Panthers vs. Miami game. From learning the ins and outs of radio and newsroom operations to connecting with professionals in the field, Krish is diving headfirst into his passion for sports broadcasting.
We are so proud to see him pursuing his dreams with the same curiosity and enthusiasm he showed during his days at PES.
We were thrilled to celebrate our November Artists of the Month in today’s chapel service.
🎨
Our first Lower School Artist explored the Elements of Art: Line to create a vibrant leaf design using oil pastels and watercolor. The final piece showcases energy and movement, with thoughtful patterns and bold linework that truly bring the page to life.
🎨
Our second Lower School Artist was recognized for her stunning mixed-media self-portrait that combined paint, collage, and transparency to express both creativity and identity. The layered surfaces, textures, and colors reveal a beautiful artistic voice that feels personal, expressive, and well-composed.
🎨
Our Middle School Artist captured the light and feeling of a riverside scene through his expressive brushwork and layered color. Inspired by Impressionism, this piece reflects a growing mastery of technique, atmosphere, and emotion, and serves as a true celebration of artistic growth and imagination.
🎨
Each of these students approaches art with such curiosity, courage, and heart. We are so proud of you all!
