As a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana, Episcopal School of Baton Rouge nurtures and develops the whole child -- spiritually, intellectually, morally, physically and artistically -- through challenging academic and co-curricular programs which prepare our graduates for college and for purposeful lives.
It now serves students in grades PK-12. The low student/teacher ratio of 11:1 allows a relationship between student and teacher that recognizes the personal needs and individual levels of achievement.
Episcopal works within the framework of a fully accredited college entrance curriculum.
The primary goal is to develop honest, alert, intellectually curious, and academically disciplined students.
Instruction is traditional in that it demands facts, principles, and methods, yet it is flexible in that it considers each student's capabilities and interests.
