Visit - The Episcopal School of Dallas | Best Private Schools in Dallas

If you have attended a tour in the last 12 months or have a child currently enrolled at ESD, we ask that you wait to sign up for a tour so that those not familiar with our community have the opportunity to be on campus. Should you have any questions, please reach out to admission@esdallas.org.

Middle and Upper School Tours

Middle and upper school student-led tours allow prospective parents to observe teachers and students engaged and learning in the classroom. The middle school tour will include a glimpse into upper school so you can experience the entire ESD journey. These events are for adults only.
