Our Mission and Vision

Inspired by our values of Wisdom, Honor and Service, the mission of Parish Episcopal School's inclusive Episcopal community is to guide young people to become creative learners and bold leaders prepared to impact our complex global society.

Our vision at Parish Plus is to expand upon the school day, providing all our community members opportunities to experience and learn more. Whether they are students growing into becoming young leaders, alumni wishing to rekindle connections and return to their Parish roots, or adults wishing to develop new skills, change careers or excel on their current path, Parish Plus wants to be a part of the journey. We challenge all members of the Parish community and the broader local community to continue to seek out new opportunities for growth and fulfillment by offering programming that sparks curiosity, and enlightens, equips and empowers each of us. 

Diversity & Inclusion

As a school founded on the values of Wisdom, Honor and Service, Parish Episcopal School believes that embracing our inclusive community facilitates our social, spiritual and intellectual growth and drives excellence in teaching and learning. We empower our students to be authentic and prepare them to lead by demonstrating knowledge of and respect for the rich variety of people and points of view that exist in our complex global society.

Parish Plus programs are designed to reflect the values of Parish Episcopal School and as a result, the commitment to a diverse and inclusive community extends to the opportunities offered outside of the regular school day. We strive to have offerings that appeal to a wide variety of builders, creators and learners of many ages and stages of life.
