Spiritual Development

As the oldest Episcopal School west of the Rockies, OES has always offered an education steeped in values, open to addressing matters of the spirit as well as the mind. That said, we welcome students of all beliefs, teach about all major faiths, and encourage students to discover their own spiritual path.

  • Courses on each of the world’s major religions
  • Exposure to Episcopalian traditions while emphasizing the value and dignity of diverse individual religious practices
  • Focus on ethical behavior in one’s own life and in relationships with others

"Whether I believe in God or not, religion exists. Part of my brain is cultivated by taking religion classes and thinking from that perspective. It helps me see a lot of things that I didn't see before."
