Originally called St. Paul's By The Sea Episcopal Day School, Beaches Episcopal School began as an outreach ministry of St. Paul's By The Sea Episcopal Church. While our name has changed, we continue to have strong ties to the church and its tradition.

As part of our school's ongoing mission, we offer children opportunities for spiritual growth. Chapel services help children connect scripture to their own lives and allows time for prayer and contemplation.

Children also participate in community outreach and service programs and are encouraged to share their time and talents with others. Respect and compassion are the cornerstone of our Christian Episcopal tradition and we welcome families of all faiths.
