Located alongside to parish of St. Philip’s Episcopal Church, Saint Philip’s seeks to foster growth in

Christian atmosphere. With small classes, an 8:1 student-teacher ratio, daily chapel, and a strong
commitment to academic excellence, character, and spiritual formation, St. Philip’s is a place where
students are known, supported, and encouraged to grow. Recent milestones, including the expansion of the
