San Jose Episcopal Day School

What San Jose Episcopal Day School does

San Jose Episcopal Day School (SJEDS) is an independent, nonprofit Christian elementary school founded in 1950 and located at 7423 San Jose Blvd in Jacksonville, Florida. Operating on a 100-year-old Spanish-style campus, it serves students from Pre-K3 through sixth grade through a tripartite "mind, body, and spirit" philosophy that integrates academic rigor with Christian spiritual development and whole-child programming. The school employs 61 staff, is affiliated with San Jose Episcopal Church, and is governed by a Board of Trustees.

Its core academic products are a Lower School curriculum (Pre-K3 through third grade) and an Upper School curriculum (fourth through sixth grade), supported by enrichment resources spanning physical education, music, art, library and media, Spanish, drama (Kingdom Theatre), and technology integration via a dedicated Tech Hub in the Library Media Center. Notable specialized offerings include NGSS-aligned STEAM laboratories (The Wonder Lab for Lower School; The Zone for Upper School), The Bear's Den academic support program for students with diagnosed learning differences, and a drama program featuring Broadway Jr. productions. Technology infrastructure is conventional educational IT: iPads, Chromebooks, ViewSonic interactive displays, Smart Boards, and document cameras. Auxiliary programs — CubHouse extended-day care, summer camp, athletics in the North Florida Independent School Athletic Conference (NFISAC), and partner-led afterschool activities in dance, soccer, chess, computing, and design — round out the offering.

SJEDS's business model is tuition-led with diversified recurring and discretionary revenue streams. Primary revenue is recurring tuition for enrolled families; pricing is not publicly disclosed and is handled via the admissions office. Supplementary streams include summer camp fees ($125-$180 per session), CubHouse usage-based after-care ($10 per 30 minutes, $12 per hour), an annual giving program (The Fund for San Jose) explicitly bridging tuition and true cost, corporate sponsorship through a Business Partnerships program, and a planned-giving Legacy Circle. Go-to-market is community-led: brand reputation, church affiliation, campus tours, alumni outcomes, and word-of-mouth referrals target Jacksonville-area families seeking private Christian elementary education. Customers are diversified across many individual families rather than concentrated in enterprise contracts, but geographically concentrated within the Jacksonville metro.
