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.

The current administrative leadership includes division heads for the Lower School, Middle School, and Upper School.[3][4]
