Our Campus

St. Richard’s Episcopal School was founded in 1960 with additions made subsequently. St. Richard’s and Trinity Episcopal Church share 100,000 square feet of space. The school recently opened four new early childhood classrooms and a Creative Commons with two additional science labs.

Facilities include:

• The Dragon Cafe
• Division science labs and classrooms
• Ruth Lilly Activities Center (gymnasium, complete with climbing wall and stage for all school assemblies)
• Library/Media Center
• Soccer field and multiple playground areas
• Multiple courtyards
• Use of Trinity Church and shared spaces

St. Richard’s Episcopal School works diligently to ensure the physical, social, and emotional wellbeing of the students.

Safety Measures:

• A Student Resource Officer from the Indianapolis Police Department is on duty from from 7:00 a.m. - 6:00 p.m. and then after school until all members of the community have left at the close of the day and the building is locked.
• A licensed school counselor is employed by the school to focus on our student's social and emotional development and well-being.
• All access points to the school are gated and locked. Visitors must buzz in to enter and sign in.
• After arrival and dismissal times have closed, both the front door and outer gymnasium door are locked.

Small class sizes are the foundation for “each student feeling well known by the school.”
