A Coeducational, College Preparatory School for Ages 3 Through Grade 12

Engaging intellects and inspiring wonder.

We believe students learn best through the active pursuit of knowledge and the relevant application of that knowledge.

Enlightening students. Illuminating lives.

We believe this is best achieved in a community that fosters critical thinking, creativity, collaboration, personal responsibility, and intellectual risk-taking in a safe and open environment.

Guiding minds to learning and hearts to understanding.

ESD educators endeavor to guide students through inquiry-based, real-world learning experiences that yield enduring understanding and encourage students to become life-long learners in an ever-changing global society.
