Holy Innocents' Episcopal School is a college-preparatory day school in Atlanta, Georgia, United States, for students in grades PK3-12. Founded in 1959, the school offers boys and girls a program based on the Episcopal academic tradition of intellectual rigor, social justice, ethical and moral growth, global awareness and servant leadership. The school's stated mission is to "develop in students a love of learning, respect for self and others, faith in God, and a sense of service to the world community."
Holy Innocents' is the largest Episcopal parish day school in the United States, with an enrollment of more than 1,376 students, and the only PK3-12th-grade Episcopal school in Georgia. In recent years, the school has undergone dramatic expansion: constructing a new 65,000 sq. foot STEM building, adding a new middle school building, doubling the size of the gymnasium and athlete-training complex, and adding two on-campus football/soccer/lacrosse fields.
Recent academic initiatives include the Laptop Program. Fifth- through twelfth-grade students are leased Apple MacBook Airs by the school, which are programmed with a range of productivity, research, and multimedia software central to their classes, and replaced every 2 years. The Upper School's Program for Global Citizenship includes Comparative Religion, World Literature, Environmental Science, increased foreign language requirements, foreign study, and international service projects. Holy Innocents’ also offers more AP courses than any other school in Atlanta.
The athletics at Holy Innocents' is also very competitive, with a long list of state championships in a variety of sports, and many D1 college athletes. Golden Bears athletic teams play at the GHSA AA division level.
