Mission Statement The mission of St. Philip’s Episcopal School is to educate each child intellectually, physically, and spiritually in an atmosphere of acceptance and inquiry.

Episcopal Identity Since its beginning in 1953, St. Philip’s has been committed to the spiritual development of its students and to the education of the whole child. As an Episcopal school, our mission is not merely to educate students in the traditional sense, but to also embrace the values of the Episcopal faith. We are unapologetic about our Episcopal identity, yet we respect and honor all faith traditions. The Judeo-Christian ethos is fully integrated into the School’s practices and daily life through weekly chapel services, Sacred Studies classes for all grades, a sacramental and liturgical view of the season of the year and our lives, and community service and outreach programs. Embedded in the culture of the School are clearly defined standards of loving and responsible behavior, derived from the Baptismal Covenant of the Episcopal Church. These standards are highlighted in themes explored in Chapel services, in informal conversations and reflections with our Rector and Chaplain, and in the ways that adults and children respect and treat one another.

A Note from our Rector & Interim Head of School Dear St. Philip’s Community, When I was serving at a large Episcopal church in Boston, one of my responsibilities was welcoming and assimilating newcomers. On a monthly basis we offered a course to help people “find their way” into the life of the parish. The last session of the course included a subtle invitation to make a financial commitment to the parish when you felt ready, or it had become your church home. Only once did someone ask to make a donation before they attended that class.

Only once.

This year, despite the unique challenges of our times, I have been approached not once but twice by families who want to give gifts to our school – either to the Annual Fund or to help improve our campus. I am always humbled when people want to make a gift before we even ask. Humbled and grateful.

Your gift to the 2020 - 2021 Annual Fund made a huge difference in the life of St. Philip’s Episcopal School. It allowed us to stay open, safe, and, most of all, continue the excellent instruction that happens in our classrooms each day. We are so very grateful for your generous support.

Grace and peace,

The Reverend Dr. Mary E. Conroy Rector

Annual Giving FAQ What is the Annual Fund?

The Annual Fund is the collection of donation dollars to support St. Philip’s Episcopal School. It is one of the two major giving opportunities during each school year.

Why am I being asked to donate to the Annual Fund in addition to tuition?

As with the vast majority of independent schools, there is a gap between the cost of tuition and the actual cost of a St. Philip’s education. In addition to covering this gap, the Annual Fund is used for program expansion and improvements to the School to benefit current and future students.

How much should I donate to the Annual Fund?

We ask families to give as their circumstances permit. The participation of our families is as important as the dollar amount they choose to give.

How is my donation used?

Annual Fund donations are used for curriculum initiatives, professional development, improvements to our physical plant, and institutional sustainability.

Does a small gift truly make a difference?

Every dollar families donate directly and greatly impacts the lives of our students. There is no gift that is too large or too small.

Are Annual Fund gifts tax-deductible?

Yes, Annual Fund gifts are tax-deductible.
