St. Matthew's Episcopal Day School

Episcopal Identity

It is our desire to raise up children who have "an inquiring and discerning heart, the courage to will and to persevere, a spirit to know and to love you, and the fit of joy and wonder in all your works." Children are presented opportunities to move toward these goals through:

• attendance in Chapel services

• opportunities for prayer, including grace at mealtimes

• pondering God's presence in the world around them

• observing role models responding both to God and to others in Godly ways in their daily lives

St. Matthew's School offers age-appropriate chapel services twice each week. The services are based on the philosophy, tradition and rhythm of the Book of Common Prayer, but are presented in a manner that touches the hearts and minds of the children.
