Welcome to Erie Day School

May I live each day being mindful of the goodness that surrounds me. May I always stretch my mind and heart so that I live my life in wisdom and love. May I be a loyal friend to others and willingly help those in need, and may I always honor and respect the earth of which I am a part. — Erie Day School Motto

Erie Day School, the only independent school in northwestern Pennsylvania, prepares its students to be exemplary citizens of the local and global community in an environment that is safe, caring, and nurturing.  This is achieved through our rigorous academic programs, emphasis on strong basic skills, encouragement of critical and independent thinking, and respectful appreciation for diversity.  We are developing tomorrow’s leaders.

We enroll 168 students in Preschool through Grade Eight and are located in Erie, Pennsylvania, near the Lake Erie Arboretum at Frontier Park and the Presque Isle State Park on Lake Erie.
