My scholars and I come together in a learning community dedicated to a creative arts focus. Ours is a full inclusion public elementary school in Louisiana serving grades preK-4. Our student body is 96% African American, 4% Anglo and 1% Hispanic. 98% qualify for free or reduced lunch. Since we are an open enrollment charter school, scholars come from all over the region to attend classes together. Many of them have musicians in their families or participate in deep-rooted community music traditions themselves, and many of our graduates have gone forward to study music, a few even making successful careers out of it. Our sister middle school boasts jazz and concert bands that rival area high school bands. Our scholars, like our city, live and breathe music and dance; they are hungry to explore and experience all that they can when it comes to performing. We also provide full-time visual art instruction and enrichment opportunities in Spanish, and athletics for certain grades
