Learn more about our unique programs.

We grow ourselves.

Our teams engage in regular observations, weekly coaching meetings and ongoing learning through professional development. We hold ourselves accountable for our commitments. This leads to incredible growth.

We put our teams first.

Our teams are tight-knit, collaborative and supportive. This means incredible results for kids.

We are the only education entity ever to be ranked the #1 Best Place to Work in New Orleans by CityBusiness.

Longevity is our norm.

We want our schools to be institutions. Last year, we retained 88% of our staff last year. We've have 100% Principal retention in our network since founding in 2008. Change is generational and we are invested in that.

You get to be a leader here.

At Collegiate, we empower everyone to be a leader. Our teachers see the needs of our students every day. We believe that makes them best positioned to find new and innovative ways to improve our schools. 

We get results.

Our students grow more than students at other schools in New Orleans and Baton Rouge. Our students regularly outperform the Louisiana average on state tests — see our latest annual report for details.

The Mission: Defying the Status Quo to Build a New Legacy   At Collegiate Academies, we don’t just run schools; we build engines of social mobility. We are at the absolute epicenter of the movement to send New Orleans and Baton Rouge students to college. While others talk about "potential," we produce results .   When we say "all scholars," we don't use it as a buzzword. We mean the scholars who arrived five years behind grade level, the 9th graders ready for AP English, the overaged students, and the scholars with IEPs, 504s, or BIPs. We believe every single one of them is college-bound. Our high schools boast the highest growth in our cities for populations that historically face the steepest mountains. We don’t just nudge the needle; we break it.   We're proud to revitalize the legacies and add the next great chapter to the storied histories of George Washington Carver , Marion Abramson ,...

About Collegiate Academies Collegiate Academies schools are at the forefront of the increase in New Orleans’ and Baton Rouge’ students attending college. We build world-class public schools that prepare all students for college success. We embrace meeting the needs of every student. For us, when we say "all" scholars, we mean Black and Brown scholars, scholars who come in 5 years below reading level, students who are ready for AP classes in the 9th grade, students who are overaged for their grade, students who have an IEP or 504 or BIP, the list goes on! Our mission is radical. Black and brown students too often hear that college isn't an option for them. We are proud that our high schools have the most growth in our cities for populations that historically see many obstacles to college acceptance. And we continue to inspire our scholars' college future while relentlessly removing barriers. As a result we celebrate yearly...
