Coast Episcopal School

Excellent school. Simply, best preschool on the coast. We could not go anywhere else after our first tour. Their toddler program is fun! My son demanded to go there every day instead of one day a week I signed him up originally. Elementary school's child to teacher ratio is quite low which allows teachers to adjust curriculum and their approach to every child's needs. Even though the school is known for their strong arts and music program, kids test above their grade in reading and sciences as well.CES graduates perform exceptionally well in public and private high schools. Many of them receive college scholarships. We have been to two different schools before. Thankfully we found Coast Episcopal. Would highly recommend visiting this school.

The extensive curriculum and availability of foreign language, art, science lab is what initially attracted us to Coast Episcopal School. However, the family-like atmosphere and the individual attention my children received has been what has kept us here.

What you will find at Coast Episcopal School is a love of learning in students and faculty alike. Laughter, the creative arts and scholarship are simply a daily part of life at CES. The latest art show in the new Gail Keenan art center featured a famous children's illustrator. Their pre-school has for 50 years been the best in the business.

I went to school at Coast from third grade to my senior year, and I would recommend CES to anyone on the coast. I had a unique education that fostered independent and critical thinking, which more than prepared me for college. The teachers truly cared about our success and the school itself was an incredible community strengthened by faculty, parents and students alike.

I love CES because they genuinely love and nurture the children, and take great pains to teach them great academics, character, and what it means to be a responsible, confident individual.

What impressed me most the first time I visited the school was the teacher involvement in the classrooms. These teachers don't stand in front of a class and teach to the children; they stay in the middle of the class and explore the topics of education with the children. When I compared the differences between this school and the others we visited, I was amazed at how much more involved the kids at CES were because of the involvement of the teachers. Another striking factor that I've come to appreciate more and more over the past two years is the close knit community of the school. The teachers know every child in the school, and they know every family, too. It isn't a chore for the kids to be there because they go in every morning feeling like they are truly a part of something special, and they are right.

I'm from the northeast and I would tell Coastal MS parents they are getting a great deal for their money at this school-Coast provides an education that would cost thousands more if it were located in a more metropolitan area. The staff are excellent, administrators nurturing, and parent volunteers committed.
