Holy Comforter Episcopal School 🇺🇸

Located roughly 7 miles northeast of the state capitol building in Tallahassee, Florida, Holy Comforter Episcopal School sits on about 80 acres of land in Leon County. While it functions as a private, coed Episcopal institution serving students from Pre-K through 8th grade, visitors exploring the local area can appreciate its deep-rooted educational history within the community. The school's origins trace back to the spring of 1955 following the arrival of Father Frank Pisani, when Warren served as rector at Holy Comforter Episcopal Church.

What started as a modest kindergarten of just 25 children and a single instructor in the parish basement has evolved into an expansive educational facility. Today, the campus accommodates roughly 550 annually enrolled students and 50 teaching faculty and guidance counselors. As you visit, you can see an accredited institution recognized by organizations such as the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools, the Florida Council of Independent Schools, the Florida Kindergarten Council, the Southern Association of Independent Schools, and the Board of Regents of the Episcopal Diocese of Florida.

It stands as a notable example of local institutional growth since the mid-20th century.
