The Middle School at Palisades Episcopal School currently serves 110 students in fifth through eighth grade with 2 classes per grade level in 5th, 6th, and 7th and 1 8th grade class. PES provides a learning environment which cultivates a joyful love of learning through hands-on, engaging activities that teach children how to think, not what to think.
A growing Social-Emotional Learning program, Responsive Classroom’s morning meetings, devotions, Middle School advisory, Faith Studies, service projects and empathetic educators all contribute to students who respect differences, are growing in character daily, and develop a spirit of service for the community around them.
The Core Knowledge curriculum provides a solid foundation of learning while creating opportunities to gain a broad range of knowledge as well as deep dives into topics of interest. Learning comes alive outside the classroom walls with outdoor learning and numerous field trips throughout the school year, averaging 1 per grade level per month. Community is fostered during weekly chapels, cross-grade level “buddies” and cross-divisional activities.
Palisades Episcopal School seeks dedicated educators with a strong desire for excellence and a commitment to inspiring a community of learners to be curious, engaged and joyful to join the PES team.
