The Episcopal School of Baton Rouge is a private, college-preparatory, coeducational day school in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. Founded in 1965, it has approximately 900 students residing in East Baton Rouge Parish and surrounding areas,[1] and has a student/teacher ratio of 10:1.[2] The school serves students in grades PreK-3 through 12. Episcopal is located on a 50-acre (200,000 m2) campus located in the eastern section of the city of Baton Rouge.

Episcopal receives no funds from the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana, solely relying on funds generated from tuition, fees, capital giving, and the Annual Fund, a yearly fundraising program in which all donations made are used for investment in school plans and facilities. The current administrative leadership includes division heads for the Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School.[3][4]
