We are so grateful for our experience at St. Richards this year. Mrs. Panayidas and Mrs. Pepper have been an absolute gift to our daughter and our family. Their kindness, patience, encouragement, and genuine love for their students made Pre-K such a special and memorable year.Not only has our daughter grown academically, but we''ve also watched her confidence, independence, and manners blossom throughout the year. She comes home excited to learn, eager to share new skills, and has developed such a thoughtful and respectful way of interacting with others - all thanks to the nurturing environment these amazing teachers created.It''s truly heartbreaking to reach the end of the school year because of how wonderful they''ve been, but we''re also so excited to continue our journey into Junior Kindergarten. Thank you, St. Richards, for giving our child such a strong, joyful, and caring foundation for learning. We couldn''t have asked for a better start to her education!

We are so thankful for St. Richard's Episcopal School and the experience it has provided our family. The sense of community is exceptional, the education is thoughtful and rigorous, and the extracurricular opportunities are enriching and well-rounded. Above all, our children are happy, engaged, and excited to learn. It is a true joy to send them to a place that nurtures both their hearts and minds.

We are in year 13 as a St Richard's family. Our two kids are different in terms of their needs and strengths, but both have found the support, education, and peer relationships they need to thrive, and both are caring, curious humans I am proud to send into the world - which to me is one of my foremost goals as a parent. Perhaps never did I feel as positively toward St Richard's as I did once our family embarked on high school. Our child has proven to be incredibly well prepared to excel in high school and has more competency in terms of discerning healthy peer relationships than I ever could've hoped for. I have had teachers and extracurricular coaches compliment my kids on their ability to advocate for themselves in a respectful manner, and also for the ways that they include and respect their peers. All of these are things that we foster in our own family, but I know they are also fostered at St. Richard's - and this is why we chose it. I have learned in my parenting journey that no school is perfect - but the great parts of St Richard's far outweigh the handful of areas that could be improved. We recommend St. Richard's wholeheartedly.

As a new family at St. Richard's, we've been so impressed by the supportive staff, strong academics, and genuine focus on equity, inclusion, and parent engagement. From day one, our children have been encouraged to grow both academically and socio-emotionally. I love the values-based curriculum and inclusive chapel time-where all faiths are truly celebrated; I've even attended Yom Kippur and Diwali services there. My active son enjoys P.E. three times a week, and my daughter thrives on the frequent, hands-on field trips. We're also excited about the unique French Exchange program offered in 5th grade Even Chef Andy's fresh, delicious lunches have inspired my picky eaters to try new foods! We couldn't be happier with our transition to St. Richard's. (One caveat: my children don't have special needs, I can't speak personally to the school's special education resources.)

SRES offer a very challenging curriculum and their middle division focus on executive function have helped my child immensely. Gaps in her education from the pandemic have all but disappeared.

Moving our pre-kindergartener to St. Richards mid-year (last year) was truly the best choice we could have made for her. Kim Napier, the admissions director, played a pivotal role in ensuring a seamless transition, and the faculty and staff were incredibly supportive. The school's warm atmosphere was evident from day one - students are greeted by name each morning! Moreover, the camaraderie among the parents has been invaluable, particularly during "Friday morning coffee" where parents can discuss school matters or talk about parenting in general. We were impressed with St. Richards from the very beginning and have no regrets moving our child there. Sending your child to St. Richards is undoubtedly a decision you will regret either!

We are so impressed with the warm and friendly community as well as the supportive and inspiring learning environment at SRES.
