St. Martin's Episcopal School

We prepare students to thrive in college and in life through Faith, Scholarship, and Service.

St. Martin's Episcopal School is a private, independent, co-educational, Episcopal school for early childhood through 12th grade. Located on an 18-acre campus in Metairie, St. Martin's mission is to prepare students to thrive in college and in life through Faith, Scholarship, and Service.

We are a rigorous college prep school founded in 1947. We respect our students and have high expectations. The result is that our students rise to the occasion. Our alumni are leaders across New Orleans and beyond that have helped to shape their communities in the fields of medicine, law, policy, real estate, education, politics, the arts, and more. Our graduates are prepared not only for college, but for careers that are not yet imagined.

We care about our students as people and we care about the people we help them become. Our Episcopal identity guides how we educate and shape children through the development of strong moral and ethical values, compassion, and empathy in every student. We believe in respecting others, speaking honestly, offering kindness, and serving the community in celebration and worship of God.

Testimonials

"More than 30 years after I graduated from StM, I'm forever grateful... Personally, I cannot express enough appreciation to the teachers, coaches, and administrators who cared for and educated me and my friends over 13 years. Those who taught us how to read, to count, to handle adversity, to think critically, to communicate and read in foreign languages, to persevere, to dream, to contemplate the past/present/future, to compete in any field, to write, and to lead. These people… gave generations of StM graduates guidance, structure, support, mentorship, and friendship."
