Current Organization and Events
The Episcopal Academy today claims to have a 100% four-year college matriculation rate, numerous athletics teams, and a chapel program that meets every other day during the school year. The Academy's motto is "mind, body, and spirit" and it strives to enrich these three sectors in every student's life. The school instituted a new mission statement in 2010. The new mission statement is: "Challenging and nurturing Mind, Body, and Spirit, we inspire boys and girls to lead lives of purpose, faith, and intergrity." Character education is at the core of Episcopal's program and is based on the school's 10 Stripes, or virtues. These are: faith, honesty, self-control, courtesy, kindness, generosity, gratitude, courage, respect, and sportsmanship.

Famous quotes containing the words current, organization and/or events:
“For the purpose of knowledge, one must know how to use that inner current that draws us to a thing, and then the one that, after a time, draws us away from it.”
—Friedrich Nietzsche (1844–1900)
“The only thing that’s been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.”
—Joan Baez (b. 1941)
“By many a legendary tale of violence and wrong, as well as by events which have passed before their eyes, these people have been taught to look upon white men with abhorrence.... I can sympathize with the spirit which prompts the Typee warrior to guard all the passes to his valley with the point of his levelled spear, and, standing upon the beach, with his back turned upon his green home, to hold at bay the intruding European.”
—Herman Melville (1819–1891)
