As Birmingham's only independent, Episcopal, JPK-8th grade school, Advent Episcopal School's mission is to provide students with a superior education in a caring, Christian environment to prepare them for a life of learning, leadership, and service.
The Advent -- true to its name -- is a beginning; the beginning of an adventure in learning that starts in our junior pre-kindergarten program and progresses through eighth grade to give each individual child a firm academic foundation for a lifetime of learning.
Yet, we believe that the mental development of a child cannot be isolated from his or her physical, social, emotional, and spiritual well-being.
In a big, rapidly changing world, The Advent provides the stability of a wholesome, caring, small-school environment where each child can experience the total learning process - thinking, planning, and problem solving - in an atmosphere of enthusiasm.
This has been our commitment since we were founded in 1950. Today, we are just as committed as ever.

School Notes
Advent is a traditional school with a rigorous and advanced
academic curriculum providing the space and capacity for
innovation. We believe each child is unique and in a constant
process of change so we involve students in the total learning
process by engaging their physical, social, emotional, and
spiritual well-being to meet high standards. Students are
encouraged through varied educational approaches to question,
challenge, and explore in their discovery of knowledge and
truth.
Advent is small by design, allowing us to ensure that all
students are loved, supported, and known-both for who they are now
and who they are yet to become. Our school community of faculty,
staff, students, and parents fosters a feeling of family that
encourages personal growth and helps children develop a strong
sense of responsibility and a positive sense of self.
With students and faculty from every corner of Birmingham and
representing varied and diverse backgrounds, our school is a true
reflection of our community. Advent strives to cultivate a
respectful and appreciative spirit of excellence. We believe
in unity, not uniformity, and in the unique worth and beauty of all
human beings as creations of a loving, gracious God.
