We are committed to doing our part to ensure that all students in New Orleans receive an outstanding education.

We do this by providing:

  • a rigorous and engaging academic program that prepares students for success in life, college preparatory high school programs, and college itself
  • a variety of enrichment activities that nurture students’ social and emotional development
  • a nurturing and aspirational school culture that supports students and instills values of personal and collective improvement.

We Support and Develop our Staff

At FirstLine Schools, we believe that our job is to support teachers, leaders, and staff to do great work. Through regular professional development opportunities, frequent feedback, and a collaborative working environment, we develop the skillfulness of each teacher and create conditions that facilitate their success.

Diversity of our Staff

Our staff is diverse across generations, ethnic groups, and life experiences. The balance of veteran and new teachers leads to a dynamic mix of new ideas and experience-driven approaches.

Seasoned Leadership and a Track Record of Success

Our school directors and principals are proven instructional leaders who support their teachers in reaching their goals of high student achievement.

FirstLine’s leaders have been devoted to providing better educational opportunities for New Orleans children for nearly 20 years. FirstLine is the founding organization of New Orleans Charter Middle School, the city’s first charter school and the highest-performing open-enrollment public middle school in the city before flooding from Hurricane Katrina destroyed the building. Now, FirstLine Schools continues to provide leadership in transforming the education experience of children across New Orleans.
