Chapel services start off Tuesday and Thursday mornings at Holy Spirit. Attendance and participation at chapel are required of all students and faculty. The service consists of songs, hymns, Bible readings and prayers.
The traditions of the Episcopal Church are followed (rite, liturgy, and ritual). Generally students sit for instruction or to listen to scripture, stand to praise God through songs or hymns, and kneel to pray.
In Christian education class, the subjects vary greatly from year to year, but they often touch on the history of the Christian Church, the contents of the Old and New Testaments, the Divinity of Jesus Christ and the Liturgy of the Church. Students in lower and middle school attend Christian education classes weekly.
Although an Episcopal school, Holy Spirit respects other faiths and makes no efforts to proselytize.
Holy Spirit Episcopal School, as a mission of the
Holy Spirit Episcopal Church, holds as its foundation the belief and tradition of the Anglican Church. And in keeping with that heritage, we embrace students of all religions, recognizing and respecting their faiths, traditions and cultures.
Faculty and staff seek to nurture the individual child in an environment of security and love. This Christian environment prepares the child to see the world as a place of beauty that calls for his/her care and demands his/her best efforts.
The school views faith as the well from which all morality and good character flow. The faculty and staff encourage students to develop their faith, for it is a tool unsurpassable and indomitable as students grow and encounter life's challenges and difficulties.
