Our Episcopal Identity

At the heart of our school is a simple belief: every person is deeply loved, wonderfully made, and beloved by God. Our Episcopal tradition guides us to honor that truth in everything we do — in how we learn, how we care, and how we serve.

Episcopal Schools

As an Episcopal school, we’re grounded in a tradition that celebrates curiosity, compassion, and community. We believe that every person is created in the image of God and deserves to be treated with dignity and love. This commitment shapes how we teach, how we care for one another, and how we grow together.

Episcopal schools balance faith and reason, encouraging students to explore big questions, discover their gifts, and understand their place in the world.

Founded within St. Mary’s Episcopal Church, a parish in the Episcopal Diocese of Oklahoma, our school benefits from the history, stability, and traditions of the Episcopal Church.

Every student is known, valued, and an integral part of our community.

Our Beliefs

Our faith calls us to see God’s presence in every person and every moment. We strive to build a school culture where kindness is expected, belonging is felt, and each child knows they are valued just as they are.

While we are grounded in the Christian faith through the Episcopal Church, we warmly welcome families and students of all beliefs. Diversity of thought and background enriches and strengthens our community.

Worship at St. Mary's

Worship is a cherished part of our school culture. We gather weekly for chapel and morning prayer, where we pray, sing, wonder, and celebrate the love of God as a community. These moments give students space to slow down, listen, and feel connected — to their classmates, to themselves, and to something greater.

Our services are child-friendly, joyful, and inclusive. Everyone is invited to participate in a way that feels comfortable and meaningful. Parents are always welcome to join their children at Wednesday Chapel.

Chapel is an offering of each child to the Lord—their thoughts, prayers, hopes, beliefs, and dreams.

Spiritual Foundation

At St. Mary’s, our spiritual foundation is the heart of our school. It’s more than chapel services or religious studies — it’s a way of living that shapes how we care for one another, make decisions, and engage with the world.

Guided by the Episcopal tradition, we teach students to explore their faith with curiosity and an open mind. We provide spaces for reflection, prayer, and worship that are welcoming to everyone — whether deeply familiar with church life or just beginning their spiritual journey.

Here, students learn that spirituality is not separate from daily life. It’s in the kindness shown to a classmate, the integrity in their work, and the compassion in serving others. By grounding our community in love, respect, and grace, we help students grow into thoughtful, ethical, and caring individuals who carry these values beyond the classroom.
