Mission & Vision

Our Mission

We create and inspire great public schools in New Orleans. We do this by directly operating open-admissions public schools and by developing training programs for teachers and leaders in our own schools and across the city. Our schools prepare students for higher education and fulfilling careers by

• ensuring high achievement for all students
• providing a rich variety of educational experiences to nurture students' social and emotional development, love of learning and high aspirations
• developing staff skills in a supportive working environment.

Our Vision

A COLLEGE PREP CURRICULUM

We believe every child should be equipped with the skills and mindset to succeed in college.

Rigorous and Engaging Classes

We work hard, love learning, and have fun.

A Nurturing Community

Teachers and administrators know your students.  We build relationships with parents founded on our mutual commitment to high expectations for success. Parents are invited to partner with us throughout the school year and at special events.

Enrichment & Extended Day

A wide variety of activities expand our students’ sense of life’s possibilities as they allow each child to discover areas that may develop into lifelong passions.
