St. Martin's Episcopal School is a diocesan private college preparatory school in Metairie, Louisiana, a suburb in Greater New Orleans. It is affiliated with St. Martin's Episcopal Church and the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana. The school also operates George Cottage, an early childhood program for infants and children up to age 3, after which they may opt to join the main school.
We prepare students to thrive in college and in life through faith, scholarship and service.
St. Martin’s Episcopal School was founded in 1947 as a co-educational, independent school. It was the first Episcopal school in the region and operated originally as a parish elementary school on the grounds of its namesake church. It moved to the current campus on Green Acres Road in 1950 to accommodate the growing number of students. A high school was added to meet the demand, and it remains the only Episcopal High School in the region. The early childhood learning program, George Cottage, was opened in 2004. Nearly four thousand students have graduated from St. Martin’s since 1951. Ownership of the school was transferred to the Episcopal Diocese of Louisiana during the 1960s.
Today, the school creates innovative, joyful and rigorous learning environments for a diverse community of 545 children and youth from infancy through twelfth grade. The school’s eighteen-acre campus has 178,700 square feet of space under roof. St. Martin’s is accredited by the Independent Schools Association of the Southwest, approved by the Louisiana State Department of Education, and holds membership in the Cum Laude Society, the National Association of Independent Schools, the Southwestern Association of Episcopal Schools and the National Association of College Admission Counseling.
