Episcopal Day School (EDS) was founded originally in 1856 as a part of Old Christ Church. It has been opened non-stop since 1952. It offers an outstanding education with a curriculum focused on comprehensive instruction in the areas of language-arts, mathematics, science, Christian education, foreign language, technology education, and the arts. As it is a Christian school, Christian education is taught as a class and the students will attend chapel every Wednesday.

[edit] Grades

[edit] The Eighth Grade
The eighth grade is the very last year, so certain priveleges are given to them that younger students do not have. They are also given a retreat near the beginning of the year and a trip at the end of the year to celebrate graduating EDS and to gather as an entire group one last time.
[edit] Uniforms
All students of EDS are required to wear uniforms. For shirts, there are choices between white, maroon, and yellow polos. They must be monogrammed. Boys may wear khaki pants or shorts, and girls may wear either khaki pants or a skirt. A separate uniform is worn on chapel day and on field trips.
[edit] Sports
There are sports in which students can participate. These sports include: basketball, volleyball, and tennis. Basketball is offered for most grades with separate teams for boys and girls. Volleyball is offered for only seventh and eight grades. There is a tennis team that is organized by age groups.
[edit] Accreditation
Episcopal Day School is accredited by the Florida Council of Independent Schools (FCIS). They were tested for accreditation in the 2006-2007 school year.
