Greenbrier Episcopal School recently opened its doors for the school’s thirteenth year of operation. In an address to the 49 students on opening day, Head of School, Andrew Smith, set the theme for the school year by sharing a “lucky stone” collected during summer vacation. Smith encouraged all the children to reflect and remember how fortunate they are to be together with friends, family, and caring teachers. A number of students at GES are now carrying lucky stones in their pockets to help them remember all they have to be grateful for in school.
Greenbrier Episcopal School’s enrollment increased 17% this year despite lingering global economic difficulties. The school enrolls children in grades PreK through 8 and boasts of an extensive financial aid program which provides tuition assistance to 60% of the student population.
During a tour of the school, the PreK class gathered in the Head’s office to try out the cozy furniture. Pictured above (L to R) are Mason, Orion, Julia, Iona, Aurora, Casey, Nathaniel, Giada, Mya, and Otis.
Greenbrier Episcopal School continues to be an independent, coeducational day school enrolling children in grades PreK through eight. Small in size, the school’s program is characterized by high academic expectations, personal attention, and respect for the dignity of every human being.
