where the preppy and wealthiest kids in Buckhead attend. Snobs that are being trained to become Buckhead mom and dads drive up in their porches and range rovers to a place that looks like a castle and a high school that was 36 million dollars. They show up wearing their Gucci sweatshirts and Balenciaga shoes. The teachers drive Tesla's and work there for fun while finding groundbreaking research for math equations or NASA. The absolute hardest school to get through. Instead of winning State in sports they win state champs in debate. Traditions such as the first day of school, spirit week, food truck Fridays, and gap week are what make everything bearable to get through those rough days of AP's. Students typically come to school with about 2 hours of sleep from staying up late to write a 20-page paper or study for a test they were told about the day before. The Lovett students think they are smarter than a pace student but they are just idiots. A place where you are considered stupid by your classmates if your GPA is under a 97 and most everyone skips honors day assemblies because we all know that same person gets it every year and you have to have at least a 100 GPA to even be considered. A place where everyone knows each other and no gossip can stay between 2 people, everyone will find out. a place that is actually a good time even when it seems like the work is going to kill you.
Me: I wonder if there will be a party tonight?
Friend: We go to Pace Academy, there are never parties the parent's houses are worth billions of dollars they don't want us to mess it up.

A more apt and accurate term for the BBC 'talent' show Fame Academy.
The soulless Patrick Kielty adds little of merit to the proceedings.
An unfortunate blip in the career of Cat Deeley.
"Oh no, it's Lame Academy (again). Let's hope that Cat Deeley is wearing a skimpy top tonight - it's not worth watching otherwise."

A private K-12 school located in Merion, Pennsylvania. It was founded in 1785 by Bishop James White, a member of the Protestant Episcopalian Church, and other colonials, many of whom signed the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. It is currently a leader in academic and athletic excellence in the country.
Athletics
Episcopal's celebrated athletics program satisfies the need to play and to compete. We believe athletics contribute to the well-being of individuals and to our school community. On the field, our students learn honor in victory and grace in defeat, and to accomplish a common goal by relying on others. Above all, they discover the clear thinking and vitality that regular exercise brings, making it a lifetime practice.
EXCELLENCE AND PARTICIPATION
At Episcopal, every student experiences the immeasurable benefits of sustained team effort. Our athletics program offers students 29 Varsity sports. Our athletes compete at the highest levels: each year, we produce Academic All Americans, All Americans, and State, Regional, and Inter Academic League Champions. In addition, many students participate in more than one Varsity sport; 40 receive Tri-Varsity letters annually.
ATHLETIC ACHIEVEMENT
About a third of our seniors each year are recruited by colleges for inter-collegiate athletics. Some represent the United States in the Olympics and Pan American games, and others may be found on the pages of Sports Illustrated. Episcopal's Alumni Athletic Hall of Fame recognizes these achievements.
Mind
The development of each student's mind, body, and spirit begins in PreKindergarten and continues through Senior year. Episcopal's safe and encouraging atmosphere communicates, above all, that learning is fu n. Students learn to focus their thinking, and develop an insatiable desire for knowledge. Episcopal responds with a dynamic, experiential education that asks students to stretch themselves: to learn by doing; to catch their teachers' excitement; to achieve more than they ever imagined. Close contact with faculty enhances the quality of learning. In their roles as student advisors and athletic/extracurricular coaches, our teachers take notice and action- the "teacher-counselor-coach" tradition distinguishes Episcopal faculty.
Spirit
The Episcopal service centers around the liturgy, a word which means "work of the people." That characterizes spirituality on the Episcopal campus... it is work that brings together students, faculty, and staff to reflect, ask hard questions, and celebrate the divine in one another. It means communion, an affirmation of our wide range of faiths, cultures, and traditions, and the powerful conversations we enjoy as we enrich our individual understanding. It creates a safe spiritual space for everyone, from the youngest PreKindergarten student to the self-assured Upper School Senior.
The Move to Newtown Square
In June of 1998, as part of its strategic plan, the Episcopal Academy Board of Trustees directed the "active pursuit of a large tract of land in the western suburbs to serve as a long-term asset and a means of preserving future options."
With this charge, a small group of dedicated visionaries contributed close to $20 million in 2000, enabling us to acquire 123 acres of rolling pasture and mature trees unlike any other on the Main Line. The natural setting is beyond compare and provides a fitting environment for our educational mission.
Furthermore, the site is strategically located in Newtown Square, which is in the heart of the fastest growing region of greater Philadelphia, and yet still only 30 minutes from Center City. We could not have imagined a more perfect location.
Why build an entirely new campus? Episcopal Academy is a far larger, more complex community than it was even twenty years ago.
Today, more students are taking more courses in the same buildings and playing more sports on the same courts and fields than ever before.
Twenty-five years ago, the Academy offered eight Advanced Placement courses; today we offer fourteen. Modern language instruction begins in grade six, not grade eight, and the offerings in history, religion, music, drama, and Upper School mathematics have increased.
The advantages of constructing a new campus become particularly compelling in looking at the constraints facing Episcopal¹s two current campuses.
The Merion campus, established in 1921 to house a boys' school, has now been coeducational for three decades. With coeducation came the need for additional facilities and more field space.
Over the years, we have reworked the campus to the extent that space has allowed. But no matter what we do, the reality is that Merion was intended for a school of 600 students, not the current enrollment of 900.
For all of these reasons, we have concluded that in order to remain among the top independent day schools in America, Episcopal needs a new, larger, unified campus.

School for the gifted, awesome Math and English teachers, and unnecessary anxiety when it comes to exams, assignments, and even homework. A disproportional amount of asian people are present in the school, as evidenced by the general feeling of "OMG we have an test tmrw that will rape us."
Also, this is used in the phrase "Webber Academy, school for the gifted." When someone does something in an unnecessarily hard (and stupid) way.
I thought we were supposed to write the essay today.
No, only the THESIS STATEMENT.
Oh.
Webber Academy, school for the gifted.

Ok so The Episcopal Academy is a very preppy school but there are plenty of students that are not preppy and are "real". it is very main line but so is every other Inter AC School around. Haverford, Anges Irwin, and Baldwin try to call EA a partying preppy school full of nice cars and Main Line Moms, sorry to break it to them but they are too. but oh wait EA is better than them in so much other stuff such as sports. 2005's EA/Haverford/Agnes Irwin Day was great because i mean its not like Haverford or Irwins even had a chance. EA beat Haverford in every sport except for water polo and if anyone saw the football game haverford to a really hard beating that they deserved. And EA also crushed Irwins while they were wearing their bEAt tshirts and decorated their cars thinking that they can just join a tradition with out a porblem. well sorry to break it but no one will ever accept the fact that they join.
"is that an Irwins girl with that haverford kid"
"yeah neither of them can do any better than that"
"but The Episcopal Academy students can!"
