The Founding Tenets

The Founding Tenets of the Episcopal School of Dallas were created simultaneously with the original Mission Statement. These Tenets provide the structure that enables the faculty, staff, and students to work and study in a faith-centered environment.

 DAILY WORSHIP

Nurturing a spiritual relationship with God through the use of the Book of Common Prayer within the context of a pluralistic and diverse student and faculty population.

COMMUNITY

Experiencing mutual trust, respect, and honor while preserving individual identity, uniqueness of thought and personality.

ETHICAL DECISION MAKING

Preparing students for actions which promote the common good through the study of religious and moral paradigms of history and contemporary thought.

SERVICE

Actualizing the advancement of the common good through acts of mercy and renewal here and within the larger community.  Daily worship, experiences in community, and studies in ethical decision making prepare members of this community for service to others, the highest manifestation of God’s presence in our lives.
