 | School Life Program Overview The Essence of an Epiphany School Education: At its core the Epiphany School experience is about challenging and caring for children. An Epiphany education provides students with strong academic skills, love of learning, community participation as well as a sense of personal responsibility. High expectations and small classes allow for individual attention, which fosters intellectual development and self-confidence. We also want our students to grow in physical and social skills and to develop empathy and awareness of others.
Epiphany provides an atmosphere in which successes are recognized, good manners are fostered and responsible behavior is valued and reinforced. By nurturing, encouraging, challenging, and setting goals as well as limits, teachers help students to maintain balance and a sense of purpose. Children have the opportunity to make developmentally appropriate decisions in a supportive environment. The Epiphany program provides ample structure, but creativity, flexibility and innovation are also very much in evidence.
An Epiphany student’s success depends to a great extent on the partnership between the school and family. Thus, the school emphasizes communication with parents and parental involvement in the life of the school as a fundamental link in the education process.
