Overview

Christ Episcopal School (CES) is affiliated with Christ Episcopal Church in Rockville, Maryland.

CES offers children a unique educational experience. Our program combines the challenge of a rigorous academic curriculum with the support and teachings of a caring, Christian community. Our goal is to foster the development of the whole child.

CES's academic program focuses on helping each student develop a solid foundation in the basic skills--reading, writing, and mathematics--the keys that open the door to all other learning. Class sizes are small, individual attention, high standards, and academic excellence are the norm. At CES, we are committed to developing talent, achieving potential, and creating lifelong learners.

In a spirit of inclusiveness, CES welcomes and respects students and families of all faith backgrounds, while maintaining an intentionally Episcopalian environment. In an era when moral and spiritual values are avoided in most schools, our dedicated teachers and staff step beyond academics to nurture the development of ethical standards and faith. Christian values and Episcopal traditions are woven throughout our program. Our students attend chapel on a daily basis. They wear uniforms. They abide by an honor code. They participate in a comprehensive service learning program. They maintain high standards of conduct.

Welcome, safe, and comfortable in this structured and caring environment, CES students have the freedom to grow, not only intellectually, but personally and spiritually. Our students flourish in both their studies and in their relationships with others.

"Minds to learn. Hearts to Love. Hands to serve." This is the essence of a CES education.
