Help Us Finish Strong As You Give to The Starfish Fund Giving Campaign!

Thank you to all who have already made a gift to The Starfish Fund annual giving campaign at Beaches Episcopal School.

If you have not yet made your gift, it is not too late!

This year has already been tremendous in terms of per household giving. However, we are currently behind with 35% parent participation. We are certain there are more families who have a desire to support the school. Don't miss this opportunity!

We have a long tradition of giving at Beaches Episcopal School. Help us finish the campaign strong by making a gift today!

All gifts of any size are tax-deductible. Donate by December 31, 2017!

A Special Message from Ashley Davis, Admissions Director

As I look around the school this time of year, I see so many incredible activities going on, families and students giving to others less fortunate, and a dedicated faculty and staff that does so much for our students. It reminds me why I love this school, my BES family, so much.

If BES has touched the life of your child, I would encourage you to reach out to a friend or neighbor and invite them to contact the Admissions Office to schedule a personal tour or visit during our January 11th Open House. We have received a record year of applications for the 2018-2019 school year and are nearly full in several grade levels, but we still have spaces left. 

Contact the Admissions Office if you have not turned in your application yet for an incoming sibling student.

I wish all of our families the very best this Christmas season and beyond!

Ashley Davis
Admissions Director
