Chapel

Chapel is a cherished tradition at St. Michael’s Episcopal Day School, grounding each day in reflection and community. Every morning, our Kindergarten through 6th grade students gather in St. George’s Chapel for Morning Prayer, setting a thoughtful and intentional tone for the day ahead. Twice a week, students and teachers participate in extended chapel services focused on learning, spiritual growth, and connection. Through stories, theology, and the rich traditions of the Anglican faith, students are invited to explore and deepen their understanding of spirituality. At the heart of chapel is our commitment to ensuring that every child feels loved, valued, and supported—while also welcoming and celebrating the diverse faith backgrounds represented in our school community and beyond.

On Wednesdays, chapel is led by Jess Speropulos, Director of Youth Ministry at The Church of St. Michael and St. George and a current St. Michael’s parent. This year, Jess is guiding students through the “Fruits of the Spirit” from Paul’s Letter to the Galatians. These sessions invite play, questions, prayer, and practical applications for life together as a community.

On Fridays, chapel is facilitated by Dr. Human, our Head of School. These gatherings include a school-wide read-aloud, community announcements, and our beloved birthday “thought-gift” tradition. Students are encouraged to reflect on the many ways we can care for one another and strengthen our community.

We warmly welcome current families to join us for chapel and share in this meaningful part of our school life.
