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.

After the excitement of the first week, our Back-to-School Bash was a perfect way to begin the school year! We loved seeing everyone gather and enjoy a little unhurried time together outside of the busy school days.

A heartfelt thank you to FPES for making it all possible. We know how much time and care goes into planning an event like this, and we are grateful for everything you did to make the afternoon such a success.
Scenes from a very happy first week at PES!

Our Gryphons walked through the doors ready for a new year, and they brought the whole campus to life with them. They found their friends, met their teachers, explored their classrooms, and got off to a flying start!

We loved every minute of this first week and cannot wait for all that is ahead.
This morning, our JK and Kindergarten parents gathered at Palisades Country Club for our annual Boo-Hoo Yahoo Breakfast, marking a morning that feels both exciting and tender as their children step into new adventures.
Meanwhile, back on campus, there were so many smiling faces in the classrooms. Our youngest Gryphons are already finding their wings, and we could not be more proud of them.
To our JK and Kindergarten families, thank you for sharing your children with us. We know how much love and trust is wrapped up in that goodbye. It is our honor to know them, teach them, and watch them soar!
