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) and Cognia (formerly AdvancED). 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).
At PES, we hold a special place in our hearts for those who have sacrificed to protect our freedom and values.
Each year, we honor our brave veterans during a special chapel service where we come together to celebrate their courage, dedication, and selflessness.
Please join us for our annual Veterans Day Chapel on November 7th at 9:00 a.m. in the BRC. Doors open at 8:30 a.m.
Junior Kindergarten at PES is all about bringing learning to life! During our plant unit, our students are able to see, touch, and even taste plants they’ve grown themselves. Earlier this year, students planted sugar snap pea seeds and watched them sprout. Now, they’ve moved those sprouts into our class garden, where they’ll keep an eye on their growth and, with a little patience, get to taste the peas they planted. It’s a joyful way for them to build skills in science, math, and observation, all while feeding their natural curiosity.
We are so thrilled to see the enthusiasm for the PES Fund! Mrs. Griffin’s class is still leading the way with an impressive 88% participation, and our 3rd grade classes are close behind. Thank you to all who have generously contributed so far — your support truly makes all the difference. When we hit 100% participation, we’ll be able to unveil an exciting school-wide surprise that we know everyone will love!
