Holy Spirit Episcopal School has truly been a blessing for my son who started there in 6th grade. The school has really helped him to thrive academically, socially and spiritually. The teachers are very dedicated and most of them have been teaching at this school for a long time. We can tell that they love what they do. The staff support the students academically and emotionally, and they communicate well with parents. The school is diverse and creates unique and engaging experiences for the kids including educational trips to Central Texas and Washington D.C. We are grateful to HSES because our son earned academic awards and he participates in sports at HSES. This school is the best place for our son who enjoys being a "Saint".

Choosing HSES was one of the best decisions we've made for our child. The school takes the time to understand and support each student. Any time we've had a question or needed help, someone was always there. Our child's math skills have grown so much since joining, and school life overall has been wonderful. They look forward to going to school every single day! The classroom environment is fantastic, and the parent community is truly supportive and connected.

Holy Spirit has been a wonderful school for my two kids. The curriculum is challenging, yet fun. Both kids love going to school each day. The teachers and staff are so loving and you can tell immediately they love what they do.

Holy Spirit was the best decision we have ever made for our children and our family. We came because of the class size and the Christian education but got so many more benefits. The teachers and staff are invested in the students and their well-being. The athletics are competitive and fun, with the full range of sports offered (volleyball, soccer, basketball, track, etc...). Academically my children were challenged and supported. And spiritually, they have grown beyond what I would expect for other children this age. Their EcoLink trips and their Costa Rican exchange program are the cherry on the cake-- my children learned so much about the world beyond them. Diverse, interesting, welcoming... don't miss out on this gem of a school.
