My kids are thriving at EPDS. The amount the kids do around the community is great. They do so much teaching outside of the classroom. This is a true community school. The tuition is very affordable. I hope this school stays in the community for years and years to come.

EPDS is a wonderful little school that is affordable for our family. Our daughter has a student since pre-K and is now in 6th grade. We feel so fortunate to have a school where she has bulit self-confidence and been able to remain a kid; it's a safe, nurturing environment that allows kids to use their imagination. Teacher's work together for an integrated thematic curriculum, which pulls everything together for the kids and helps keep it more interesting. But my favorite element is the age ranges and small classes - that combination makes for an environment where the older kids nurture the younger ones, providing for great growth for all. They learn to accept each other, and help each other. And as working parents with no local family, the small school environment works great for us - we all help each other out. EPDS has not only provided our daughter a great education in a warm and nurturing environment, but it's also an extended family for all of us.

Of all the things parents do for their chiildren, sending my kids to this school has been my greatest gift. My 3 children have been at EPDS since PreK or K and now two are in highschool. They are academically strong, socially responsible and empathic. They learned to work collaboratively and through challenges and have grown into live long learners. The small class size and community environment has helped them develop their own individuality and be comfortable with who they are, strengths and weaknesses. And all of this at a much more affordable tuition than almost any other independent private school. Thank you EPDS teachers and staff for helping my kids grow into nice teens.

My son has been at EPDS for 2 years. The impact on him academically and as a citizen has truly been profound. It is a wonderful, rich, nurturing environment that forms and directs young minds down the right path. At 7, the work he brings home is amazing and encourages critical thinking. Really Great

My daughter loves Eastern Point Day School! So do her parents. She is currently engaging in the kindergarten class and enrolled to continue into the first grade next Fall. This school provides a safe, quality education with magnificent and caring instructors. It is difficult to imagine a better learning community. The head master and teachers truly love the students, and are wonderfully creative and inspiring. They challenge the students to excel and to collaborate with one another in the learning process. The parents are greatly involved with the school and all clearly appreciate the opportunity to advance their children's learning experience in this highest quality learning space. The school's motto is apt: Inspire, Challenge, Educate. All those goals are accomplished and exceeded at Eastern Point Day School.

My children love this school. They are excited about learning and love their teachers. The staff is so dedicated and care for the children both emotionally and intellectually. The small class sizes allow for real creativity in learning and teachers can teach to each child's strengths. This is a very special school and we are so glad that our children are learning so much and are happy every day they go to school!
