Academics & Programs - Good Teaching

As children move from the safety and protection of home into an educational setting, they need a community of people who will challenge them where they need to be challenged, yet always be ready to recognize and celebrate their gifts. Beaches Episcopal School has a 60-year tradition of helping children grow both intellectually and spiritually.

BES students, ranging from pre-kindergarten through sixth grade, are mentored by our expert faculty and challenged with a strong academic curriculum that is enhanced by our outstanding enrichment programs. These enrichment classes, many of which are disappearing from public schools, include fine arts, Christian Education, Spanish, and physical education. These programs help us teach the whole child, and provide students with much-needed outlets for discovery and creativity, and new opportunities to succeed.

The BES campus and classrooms are also fully equipped with state-of-the-art technology, including two computer labs and SMARTBoards and computers in our classrooms.  iPads and an iPad cart also add to the students' learning experience through an interactive, current technology that promotes the school's educational philosophy.
