The gratitude that I feel for the years that my kids have spent at EDS cannot be summed up in one post. I am thankful for so many things including caring and committed teachers, the exceptional education my children have received, the wide variety of extracurricular activities they’ve have participated in, and the feeling of family that we all have experienced at EDS. It’s a very special place.

Confidence Grows Here
At Evansville Day School, learning is personal. Every student is known, challenged, and encouraged to think boldly, grow with confidence, and take ownership of their future. With small classes, a dynamic curriculum, and a campus built for exploration, students develop the independence, leadership, and problem-solving skills that last a lifetime.
The results speak for themselves. Our students achieve a 100% IREAD-3 pass rate and a 100% college acceptance rate, but the numbers only tell part of the story. At Day School, small classes and a student-driven approach build confidence, independence, and a love of learning. By the time they graduate, they are not just prepared for college, they’re ready to lead, adapt, and thrive in a changing world.
From preschool through high school, we focus on meaningful relationships, hands-on learning, and student-driven exploration. At Day School, students are more than test scores. They are thinkers, creators, and leaders who take ownership of shaping their own future.
