Epiphany is blessed with a very committed and involved principal. He seems to have a talent for relaying information to parents and reaching the kids on their level.

The second complaint I have is that the school has early dismissal every Monday, requiring working parents to spend more money on extended care. I don't understand why the children need to be let out at 12:35 p.m. every Monday, when we pay just as much tuition as other comparable schools. Read less
