We See Your Child the Way You Do

From the moment they’re born, every child is unique— singular and amazing, with gifts all his or her own. As a parent you treasure your child’s individuality and you look for a learning environment that’s personalized and loving with teachers who will not only educate, but will celebrate your child.

At Beaches Episcopal School, your child will be welcomed and known by name by teachers and staff. We are dedicated to caring for the total child, educationally, emotionally and socially. We want to help children to grow in mind and heart so that they learn to value their own unique gifts as well as their connections and responsibilities to others.  And we want our students to feel that they’re not just at school, they’re at home.

As an outreach of St. Paul's by-the-Sea Episcopal Church, Beaches Episcopal School provides education in a caring, Christian environment that enriches the lives of its students and their families. We are committed to providing a solid foundation for every aspect of our students' futures, and to help children grow intellectually, spiritually, emotionally, and physically in an atmosphere that promotes trust and freedom.

With ideal class sizes, a nurturing environment and full accreditation from the Florida Council of Independent Schools, the Board of Regents of the Episcopal Schools and the Florida Kindergarten Council, Beaches Episcopal School is one of the finest private elementary schools serving Jacksonville, Jacksonville Beaches and Ponte Vedra.
