Founded in 1998 with just 28 students, the Episcopal School of Knoxville has grown into a thriving academic community with almost 400 students on a 96-acre campus in Knoxville, Tennessee’s Hardin Valley neighborhood.
Boasting a student-teacher ratio of 9:1 and an average class size of just 12 students, ESK serves students in preschool through eighth grade. While the school is a member of the National Association of Episcopal Schools, students from all backgrounds are welcome to apply. In fact, only 25 percent of the students at ESK are members in an Episcopal church. ESK students do participate in a daily chapel service and take part in several community service projects throughout the year.
In addition to academics, ESK has more than 20 teams competing in a dozen sports, including clay target shooting, soccer, flag football, golf, and bowling. A robust fine arts program allows students to participate in music, pottery, sketching, silk screen printing, and 3D modeling.
Following eighth grade, ESK helps its students find the best possible high school placement, whether that’s in a private or public setting, as they realize their potential as capable global citizens.

My son has enjoyed having foreign language for the past two years! He loves his Mandarin Chinese class - challenging and engaging! He greatly appreciates his teacher - what an amazing lady! ESK has many facets to its unique environment - foreign language is just one of the many!

ESK is hands-down one of the greatest finds in Knoxville. My child has had a great experience here and has grown so much confidence in her abilities as a student and just as a person in general over the last 3 years. She started off extremely shy and was afraid she wouldn't be able to make friends,...

Bullying in this school is tolerated and the Tribes agreement is a joke. The school does not uphold the culture that is marketed to prospective students. If you have money to donate to the school your children can behave in anyway that they want with no consequences. Our experience in the middle sch...
