Welcome!
Dear Families,
Welcome to St. Martin’s Episcopal School! SMES welcomes families with children ages three years through eighth grade to grow intellectually, physically, and spiritually and to live with Confidence, Compassion, and Character.
At St. Martin’s we provide excellence in education through small class sizes, dedicated teachers, and enrichment classes in the arts, Spanish, physical education, Chapel, technology, and music. We foster an inclusive community where all people are respected, valued, and treated equitably. Service to the community and those in need is important to this school with a big heart, and students participate in age-appropriate service projects throughout their time at St. Martin’s. Some of these projects are shared with the parish, while others are chosen and led by the students.
As a faith-based school, St. Martin’s provides a strong academic program grounded in the broad and inclusive values, traditions, and tenets of the Episcopal Church. Episcopal identity is fully integrated into the School’s practices and daily life through weekly chapel services, Sacred Studies classes, and community service. We seek to instill a passion for learning, empathy for one another, and teaching the importance and joy of living a life of integrity.
We believe our families and children are vital to the core of our community. We value your child’s individuality, and welcome families of all faiths and backgrounds. We believe partnership with our parents is the key to the success of our students. At St. Martin’s we are preparing lifelong learners who will thrive and lead in today’s world.
As Head of School at St. Martin’s, I welcome you to come find out what makes St. Martin’s so special. I am inspired by the strong sense of community and the staff’s ability to meet the unique individual needs of each student. The best way to get to know us is by scheduling a private tour, and I look forward to meeting you. On behalf of St. Martin’s Episcopal School and Church, we are excited to continue to grow, in spirit and education together!
Warmly,
Dr. Tracy Bonday, J.D., M.S. Ed
Head of School
