Not at all. One of the hallmarks of the Episcopal identity is the importance of inclusivity and personal spiritual growth. We teach students to explore their own spirituality while encouraging a wide range of perspectives. Episcopal traditions are simply the vehicle for instilling personal development and upstanding character in our students. 

A student application is the first step in our admissions process.  You can apply here. We do recommend that interested families become a little more familiar with St. Paul’s by attending/viewing an Open House or scheduling a private school tour. If you prefer to meet virtually, you can schedule a video or phone call with our Director of Admissions to learn more about the school. 

No.  You do not need to attend both an open house and a private tour.   

Open House events occur throughout the school year and are occasionally age-specific.  This is a great opportunity to hear from our head of school, division heads, current parents and students.  You will have the opportunity to speak with teachers and see our classrooms in action. Click here to view a recent virtual open house! 

Tours are done privately with the Director of Admissions.  This is a great opportunity to learn more about the school and usually takes less time than an open house event.  If you prefer to meet virtually, you can schedule a video or phone call with our Director of Admissions to learn more about the school. 

We admit toddlers who are 2 years old by July 1.  Our Early Education program incorporates a healthy blend of work and play with a variety of activities and experiences to help children develop greater confidence and independence.  

The admissions process consists of a few steps before the student file goes to the admissions committee for final consideration. We ask that all families complete the application, submit a record request form, and schedule a student visit or playdate. At St. Paul’s, we seek to find students who will thrive in our warm but rigorous academic environment. St. Paul’s is an inclusive community that is eager to welcome a wide range of families and students from diverse backgrounds. 

The wait pool is used to fill openings during the school year and to complete the school roster year over year.  We do not rank potential applicants as we seek to balance the needs of existing classes.  If you are in the wait pool, we encourage you to at least have a completed application on file.  

We do not provide sibling discounts.  However, we encourage families to apply for tuition assistance. The Financial Aid Committee takes siblings into consideration when awarding assistance to families.  

St. Paul’s understands that an independent school education is a major investment for families to consider, and we are committed to supporting students who need tuition assistance.  You can apply for tuition assistance here.  

Starting in 5th grade, students are invited to sign up for select sports in the fall and spring including basketball, volleyball, and soccer. St. Paul’s competes in local athletic tournaments with other independent and parochial schools. 

Yes, the Early Room program begins at 7:15 a.m., and after care is available until 6 p.m. In addition, students can sign up for after school enrichment programs like music lessons and student clubs! Click here to find out more about the Extended Day program.
