As a ministry of the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana, The mission of Episcopal School of Baton Rouge is to nurture and develop the whole child -- spiritually, intellectually, morally, physically and artistically -- through challenging academic and co-curricular programs that prepare our graduates for college and for purposeful lives.

Our whole-child philosophy means students are prepared to meet the challenge of rigorous academic standards, while also developing spiritually, gaining a deeper appreciation for the arts, and competing in inclusive sports. The strong sense of community that defines Episcopal is reflected in the cooperative effort of teachers, staff, students, parents, alumni, and friends working together to create an environment that supports this comprehensive development of students.
