Fencing at OES

At Oregon Episcopal School, we believe excellence is cultivated through both challenge and community. Our signature fencing and boarding program brings together a premier college-preparatory education, world-class saber instruction through Oregon Fencing Alliance, and a distinctive boarding experience grounded in care, connection, and belonging.

Students train alongside elite coaches with a proven record of developing Olympians and world champions—while thriving in a supportive academic environment that values curiosity, character, and balance. At OES, achievement is never pursued in isolation. Every student is known, supported, and surrounded by a community that believes deeply in their potential—on the strip, in the classroom, and in life.

The Scholar's Edge

The Scholar's Edge is designed for students who aspire to compete at the highest levels—without sacrificing the joy, rigor, and human connection of an exceptional school experience.

Through our partnership with Oregon Fencing Alliance, students receive elite saber training recognized globally for producing Olympic and World Championship athletes. This high-performance pathway is seamlessly integrated into the OES academic and boarding experience, ensuring students grow not only as athletes, but as scholars, leaders, and citizens of character.

What makes OES truly one of a kind is our boarding community—intentionally small, deeply relational, and rooted in care. Here, students find a second home: one that celebrates ambition, supports resilience, and fosters lifelong relationships.
