Episcopal Day School (EDS) is an independent, co-educational school in Pensacola, Florida, providing courses from pre-kindergarten to grade 8 levels. The roots of Episcopal Day School date back to 1856 when an educational ministry was founded as a part of Old Christ Church. The school in its current form has operated since 1952.[1] While founded on Episcopal traditions, EDS is welcoming of all faiths and backgrounds.[2][3]
The core curriculum focuses on Reading/Literature, Writing, Math, Science, Social Studies, and Spanish. Additional enrichment classes include Library, Technology, Robotics, Physical Education, Christian Education, and the Arts. Christian education is taught as an enrichment class and the students attend chapel every Wednesday.[4][5]
Chapel
Every Wednesday, grades PreK-2 through eighth grade and their teachers gather for chapel by walking across the street to Christ Church parish. Students help run the service by doing various parts.[6] The fourth grade makes up the choir that sings hymns, the sixth and seventh grades do the readings from the book of Episcopal Book of Common Prayer and stories from the Bible. The eighth grade makes up the Acolyte team which leads the Priests and Choir down the aisle at the beginning and end of the service. PreK-2 through first grade has its own chapel. Second grade through eighth grade with their teachers attend chapel services throughout the school year.[7][8]
