The tenets of Parish Episcopal School reflect our Episcopal identity and our mission to become instruments of God’s peace and justice in the world.

A Community of Faithfulness

The Parish community centers its communal life in daily Chapel services.
 

A Community That Models God’s Love and Grace

Parish models serving God in Christ to all persons, regardless of origin, background, ability or religion. In the arenas of academic and extracurricular life, we strive to honor and respect the dignity of every human being. Community Service – locally, nationally and internationally – is one of the clearest ways we live out this commitment.
 

A Diverse Community

Parish is a religiously, culturally and socio-economically diverse community. We believe that empathy and understanding help us each become better equipped for the world we see today and the world we will pass along to future generations.
 

A Multi-faith Community in Worship and Prayer

Students, faculty and staff of any and all faith traditions attend daily chapel and services. Gathering as a community, to learn from each other, with the Bible as the foundation of that learning, allows each member of the School to grow in their own beliefs. We are a community that strives to honor people of all faith traditions through:

• Religious literacy

• Tolerance

• Exploration and security in personal beliefs
• Strong moral agency and ethical decision making
• Civil discourse around religious difference

Servant Leadership

At Parish we demonstrate and instill the concept of leadership by example. Serving others is part of our culture and curriculum. Students are encouraged to think of others first and to make a difference by sharing their talents without expectation of reward. We believe this kind of leading with integrity is vitally important to instill in the leaders of tomorrow.
