The Runnels School is the oldest independent private school in Baton Rouge.
The Runnels School is a comprehensive school dedicated to the emotional, intellectual, social and physical growth of the students in our preschool through high school programs. We believe that education is a cooperative effort among students, parents, faculty, administration and staff, designed to stimulate the creativity and academic achievement of the individual. We believe in the importance of the individual and the value of a personal approach to education. We help each student to develop a realistic and positive self-image. We seek to develop self-discipline by encouraging positive behavioral traits. We respect the dignity of the individual and strive to discipline in a fair, consistent and caring manner. We believe that a young person learns from his or her total experience in the school setting. Accordingly, we provide opportunities for social and physical growth in both the curriculum offerings and extracurricular activities. We believe that increasing in technical academic knowledge, social skills, and physical well-being is not enough for a complete education. We believe that a very important part of a child’s growth is developing an appreciation of the arts. We strive to inspire this appreciation in many ways, and also provide an opportunity for self-expression in the arts. We believe that each young person entrusted to us is important, and we consider it an honor and a privilege to be allowed to be a part of his or her life.

My children are prepared for college on an academic level as well as a social level. We couldn't be happier with our school.
