About Epiphany School

Epiphany School is a non-parochial, independent elementary school serving grades pre-kindergarten through fifth grade. At Epiphany School, we envision a world where exploring together fosters courageous learners and compassionate leaders. We strive to achieve this vision by being a welcoming community that embraces its diversity, celebrates the joy of childhood, and ignites lifelong curiosity. We aim to create a positive, joyful, and inclusive community by embracing the following values:

Learn Joyfully

Try New Things

Act Responsibly

Invite Everyone In

Shine Together

With over 260 students, Epiphany School is large enough to offer a broad spectrum of educational opportunities and small enough to maintain a close-knit community. The beautiful, historic campus is located in a quiet setting in central Seattle’s Madrona neighborhood.

Epiphany School’s Commitment to Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion

Epiphany School promotes and cultivates a diverse community as essential to academic success, social and emotional growth, and the development of good character. Engaging diverse perspectives stretches the mind and requires critical thinking, intellectual courage, and creativity. It takes careful listening and thoughtful expression and manifests itself in cultural competency. Thinking beyond oneself and seeing the world through the eyes of others is the foundation of fairness and empathy, and thus prepares our students to live respectfully and responsibly in our pluralistic democratic society.
