Learning
Our students learn experientially, in and out of the classroom, through hands-on projects, singing, drawing and painting in support of the Learning Without Tears curriculum and seasonal themes.
Play
As often as the weather allows, students exercise on our playground equipment and run and play on our large, grassy field. In the classroom, students have fun through creative, positive interactions with their friends.
Garden
Students interact with nature and learn about the physical world by growing plants in raised beds devoted to their use.
Chapel
Daily chapel is led by the Director and a pastor comes once a week. Students participate actively in the chapel service. Chapel is a place where the children learn the stories of God’s love for them and all creation.

"We have sent both of our boys to EDS and it's been such a special place. The environment is wholesome, warm and fun for the kids plus we feel they learn and enjoy their days in a wonderful environment. I cannot recommend this sweet school and the teachers enough. There is a reason it has been around for decades!"
