Christ Episcopal School

What Christ Episcopal School does

Christ Episcopal School (CES) is an independent, co-educational, college preparatory day school serving students from Pre-K through 12th grade in Covington, Louisiana. Founded in 1984 as a ministry of Christ Episcopal Church, the school enrolls more than 600 students across two campuses — an Early Childhood Campus and the Christwood Boulevard Campus. It maintains a 14-student average class size, a 1:7 faculty-to-student ratio, and 49% of faculty hold advanced degrees. CES is the only school in St. Tammany Parish to hold dual ISAS (Independent Schools Association of the Southwest) and SAES (Southern Association of Episcopal Schools) accreditation, and its athletic program has produced 18 state championship-winning teams.

The school's core product is a full Pre-K–12 college-preparatory academic curriculum augmented by interscholastic athletics and supplemental programming, including a recently launched Heart to Heart inclusion program for students with Down syndrome that is planned for expansion into additional grade levels. Experiential-learning partnerships with NatureBridge, Dauphin Island Sea Lab, and Camp Carolina Backcountry extend the curriculum into outdoor education, and the school runs the Art at the Park community event as a fundraising and visibility initiative.

CES is structured as a private nonprofit organization affiliated with Christ Episcopal Church. Revenue is generated primarily through tuition, with secondary contributions from summer camp enrollment, aftercare services, and event-based fundraising. The institution does not raise equity capital and does not disclose detailed financial data. Leadership is currently under Head of School Fr. Charles Latour, who succeeded Dr. John Murray.
