Our Mission and Values

Saint Michael Episcopal School’s mission is to provide a nurturing, individualized, inclusive early childhood experience based on our four pillars - Love, Faith, Education, and Service,

We offer a curriculum to stimulate children’s intellectual and spiritual growth with activities that foster creative thinking, develop strong character, and build a foundation in faith.


About Our School

Our school was established as a ministry of Saint Michael and All Angels Episcopal Church (SMAA) in 1986. At that time, it was solely as a Mother’s Day Out program through two years of age. Over the years, our school has evolved into a thriving early childhood experience. We now offer educational opportunities for children 12 months through Kindergarten. Saint Michael Episcopal School (SMES) is under the leadership of Netra Fitzgerald, Head of School, and Tricia Morris, Assistant Head of School, and has grown into a successful early childhood option for Saint Michael and All Angels members and north Dallas residents. SMES serves over 195 families each year and has 245 students ernolled for the 2020-2021 school year.

All of our teachers incorporate art, table activities, circle time, and free play to provide a well-rounded experience. We encourage our students to become more independent by helping them to learn skills that make them feel confident and capable.

As an Episcopal school, we believe that serving others is one of the best ways we can teach our little ones to know God. Through events such as the book drive or the canned food collection, we are able to show our children what it means to help those who need it most. We hope by instilling the importance of putting others first at an early age that they will be better prepared to meet the world. We also gather weekly for chapel service for our children to come together with Father Eric Liles to learn about stories from the Bible and how God plays a role in each of our lives.

We hope that you will find SMES to be the school where your child grows to love learning and to love those around them.
