What do you think?
This is new ground. We can only get there together.
Time of Great Transition
- New Orleans is changing
- Public schools are changing
- The world is changing
Our Mission:
Equip all students with the knowledge, character and mindsets needed to succeed in college and live a life that impacts the human story amid an ever-changing world.
- Every teacher is a rock star.
- Students are encouraged to be 'makers': creative self-starters, who experiment, design, innovate and explore.
- A school that learns.
Our Beliefs:
Empathy, creativity and perseverance determine one's capacity to impact the human story.
Every child has the capacity for unique greatness.
New Orleans is uniquely poised to be a world leader in this century's creative and knowledge economies.
School Design Elements
Private/independent schools
Constructivist academic program
Every student is 'known'
Urban Charter Schools
Character development around school values
Strong school culture focused on our mission
Entrepreneurial start-up community
In middle school, students 'own' their academic program.
All students must work in a small team to start a business, organization or venture
The Problem
New Orleans schools inadequately prepare today's students to be tomorrow's adults.
What's the Plan?
Openning
Location & Admissions
Open in 2013 with Kindergarten and hopefully PreK
Grow slowly and purposefully: one grade at a time
Looking for facilities that would work for all
Control admissions for income
