Our School Mission

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 that prepare our graduates for college and for purposeful lives.

 

Our Episcopal Identity

Episcopal schools are Christian communities whose missions integrate spiritual formation into all aspects of the educational experience in a graceful and inclusive way. Even the most diverse of Episcopal schools are created to be communities that honor, celebrate, and worship God as the center of life. We are created to be models of God’s love and grace. We are created to serve God in Christ in all persons, regardless of origin, background, ability, or religion. We are created to “strive for justice and peace among all people and [to] respect the dignity of every human being.” 

 

Episcopal schools have been established, however, not solely as communities for Christians, like a parish church, but as diverse institutions of educational and human development for people of all faiths and backgrounds. Episcopal schools are populated by a rich variety of human beings, from increasingly diverse religious, cultural, and economic backgrounds. By weaving the principles of meaningful school worship, rich community life, foundational religious education, and striving for social justice into the very fabric of the school’s overall life, Episcopal schools ensure that we challenge all who attend our schools to build lives of genuine meaning, purpose, and service in the world they will inherit.

Episcopal School of Baton Rouge is an equal opportunity employer dedicated to a policy of nondiscrimination in employment upon any basis, including race, color, religion, sex, gender identity, sexual orientation, pregnancy, status as a parent, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, political affiliation or military service.
