Bishop Noland Episcopal Day School

LA GATOR at Bishop Noland Episcopal Day School

Louisiana's 2025-26 nonpublic approval list carries Bishop Noland Episcopal Day School as accredited. In practical terms that is the green light for LA GATOR: an approved school can receive tuition and required fees from a student's account once it signs up in Odyssey for the year. Sign-up is the school's own annual step and the state does not publish who completed it, so confirm it for 2026-27. The school's Brumfield v. Dodd clearance, which any school enrolling state-funded students must hold, is dated 1976.

The school reported 376 K-12 students and 58 pre-K children to the state, which makes it number 3 by K-12 enrollment among the 13 approved schools in the five parishes.

It carries students from the early-childhood years to graduation on one campus, which is unusual in Southwest Louisiana, where the largest system splits at grade 9. A family can renew the same award at the same school every spring for over a decade, while tuition typically rises with the grade.

It does not appear on the 2024-25 Tuition Donation Credit list, so an STO scholarship may not be available here unless the school has joined since. The account itself is unaffected; ask the office about its own aid for any balance.

In the 2023-24 round of the federal Private School Survey the school counted 363 students, 36 full-time-equivalent teachers and a ratio near 10.1 students per teacher. It lists membership in National Association of Episcopal Schools.

Across every funded grade

The account can pay for 13 school years here (kindergarten to grade 12). At this year's amounts that adds up to about $68,159 on the standard award, $99,138 on the lower-income award and as much as $198,289 for an IDEA student, not counting STO scholarships. Each year's award depends on the appropriation, so use it to size the decision, not as a promise. The pre-K years on this campus are outside the account; funding begins at five.

Covering the rest

An Episcopal day school prices without a congregation subsidy and usually runs need-based aid through an outside service. Ask whether your need is assessed with the account already counted, and whether the high school grades carry a higher rate.

What to ask when you call

1. Are you set up in Odyssey for 2026-27, and does your billing follow the quarterly deposit schedule?
2. What is the all-in price for my child's grade, and what would a family on the $5,243 or $7,626 award still owe?
3. Does a pre-K seat guarantee a kindergarten seat, the first year the account can pay?
