About Audubon Schools

<p>History, Mission, and Vision </p><p>History </p><p>Established in 1981, Audubon quickly became an outstanding school within our community. Audubon's community presence, unique education programs, and notoriety resulted in a very strong partnership between parents and the faculty. </p><p>The school was the vision of four teachers who met while attending Montessori certification classes at Tulane University. Two of the four teachers petitioned the Orleans Parish School Board for support of this concept and Audubon Montessori School was created. This highly unique inception from the bottom-up guaranteed the success of the school - as the teachers took ownership and responsibility for its ultimate success. </p><p>In 1986, a French component opened within the school that has been extremely effective for a new cadre of students. The French government took note, and in 1990, Audubon became an official French School in an historical agreement between the French Government and the State of Louisiana. In 2002, the French government designated our school as a center for effective strategies in the teaching of a foreign language. </p><p>In the wake of Hurricane Katrina, the Audubon community requested the Orleans Parish School Board re-open the shuttered school as a charter. In January 2006, Audubon Montessori became Audubon Charter School, operating under the governance of the Board of French and Montessori Education, Inc. or FAME, Inc. In May 2006, the Orleans Parish School Board granted Audubon Charter School an additional building to accommodate the growing school. The school is now split into two sites in Uptown New Orleans: a Lower Campus serving grades Pre-K through 3 and an Upper Campus serving grades 4 through 8. The lower campus is located at 428 Broadway Street and the upper campus is currently located at 1111 Milan Street. </p><p>In response to the overwhelming demand for Audubon Charter School each year by families seeking our unique programs, Audubon transitioned to a Charter Management Organization (CMO) and opened a second school in a new neighborhood of the city to allow more families to have access to a high-quality, non-traditional school. Audubon Charter School - Gentilly opened in Fall 2018 as a sister school to Audubon Charter School - Uptown. The school currently serves students in grades PreK(3) - 5, and will add one grade level per year until we serve approximately 450 students in grades PreK - 8. This school is highly unique because it offers a Bilingual Montessori Academic Model, which is a hybrid of the Montessori and French programs that have been highly successful and sought after at Audubon Charter School - Uptown. Students are able to learn the French language in a Montessori environment. </p><p>Vision </p><p>Audubon students are actively and purposefully involved in learning so they become responsible citizens in a changing world. Our vision for Audubon Schools is to provide an opportunity for students in New Orleans to take part in an educational environment that will not only provide them with a high-quality, well-rounded education, but also develop the skill set needed to be successful in a shifting, globalized career landscape and society: creative thinking, problem-solving skills, collaboration, and intrinsic motivation. </p><p>We are proud of Audubon Schools and envision even greater possibilities for our Rarebird community. </p><p>Mission </p><p>Audubon Charter School’s mission is to foster a culturally rich and academically rigorous program using the French and Montessori Curriculum and a comprehensive arts curriculum. Audubon students are actively and purposefully involved in their learning so they become responsible citizens in a changing world.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
