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.

“For me, Romanticism is the most recent and the most current expression of beauty.”
—Charles Baudelaire (1821–1867)
“When a man’s partner’s killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
—John Huston (1906–1987)
“The return of the asymmetrical Saturday was one of those small events that were interior, local, almost civic and which, in tranquil lives and closed societies, create a sort of national bond and become the favorite theme of conversation, of jokes and of stories exaggerated with pleasure: it would have been a ready- made seed for a legendary cycle, had any of us leanings toward the epic.”
—Marcel Proust (1871–1922)
