100% BOARDING COMMUNITY

What is Boarding School?

A boarding school is an immersive learning environment that offers a live-in campus experience where students reside right where they learn. Academics, athletics, arts, and residential life all happen within the same community, creating an atmosphere where learning extends well beyond the classroom. Students benefit from structure, close relationships with faculty who live alongside them, and constant access to the people and resources that support their growth.

At Episcopal, that idea is taken a step further: every single student boards and 90% of faculty live on campus. EHS is 100% boarding and 100% community. Here you will find your friends, your teachers, your team — your boarding school family. A community of students and faculty who wake in the same place every morning, bound by shared experience, collective pride, and constant availability to one another. All uniquely included. All together. There is no home quite like this one.

“There are a lot of things that make it feel like I belong...”
