Success for an Epiphany Student is that they really show up for life. That they are participants in their society and that they make the world a better place for their presence. They make the community stronger for who they are.
- John H. Finley, IV Head of School
It's when you're just trying to figure out who you are, who you want to be, what's cool, what's not cool and very influenced by things around you. So being able to be in an environment that's this structured really can influence a lot of who you are. Academically, I just want the kids to be pushed and challenged. And to learn how to work, how to work hard. Even if things don't come easy and you're not getting A's, that you're still trying and putting in your best effort.
- Michelle Sanchez, Principal
What Epiphany does, hopefully, on its best day is to provide a model of what a small independent school can do for kids from the city, which is give them a huge sense of themselves, a huge calling back to their community, a really solid educational base.
- Jennifer Daly, Chaplain and Dean of Students
Epiphany's classroom is unlike any other classroom that I've been in because of the class size. It's great student-teacher ratio. My classes have 9, 10, and 11 students. It's a lot of one on one instruction, and many of these kids need one on one instruction.
- Emily Morse, Former Intern Teacher
You can be the best teacher in the world, or they can be the brightest student in the world, but if they don't have the support on the outside, you still don't necessarily have what it takes to make it. So we look at the big picture and we say, what's going on in their family.
- Gillian Van Delft, Former Master Teacher
There's no way a kid can leave this school and not feel that they are supported 100%
- Frannie Armstrong, Master Teacher
Epiphany becomes like a family. Being in the community makes a big difference.
- Melissa Goodrich, Former Master Teacher
I love it here at Epiphany because this is the most honest work that you can do. There is absolutely no place I would rather have spent the past two years of my life.
