Welcome to Erie Day School!

Located in historic Erie, Pennsylvania, Erie Day School is northwestern Pennsylvania's only independent school. Founded in 1929 on the perimeter of Frontier Park, Erie Day School educates children in grades Pre-K through 8. We offer a distinctive educational experience, rooted in the uniqueness of each child and a desire to balance all aspects of a child's growth intellectually, socially, physically and emotionally.

Erie Day School values academic excellence and inspires children to develop to their full potential. With an engaging curriculum that supports thought, rigor and diversity, students grow to think creatively, critically and reflectively. We tout acclaimed art, music and drama programs, daily physical education classes and foreign language learning. Our students are encouraged to develop scientific inquiries, read and write, utilize technlogy and explore mathematics with the support of highly qualified educators.

At the heart of our successful school is the student-teacher relationship. Small class sizes and dedicated teachers engage students in active, student-centered learning experiences; conceptual, constructive and experiential in nature. Students are supported with affirmation and affiliation in the Erie Day School community.

I encourage you to join the students, faculty and staff at Erie Day School to schedule a tour. Vistors are welcome and appreciated as we learn today and lead tomorrow!
