Academic Studio
ABOUT US
A Rich History of Learning
The instructional model is inspired by the best of arts instruction and emphasizes collaboration, project-based learning, interdisciplinary inquiry, creativity and mentorship by intellectuals who are experts in their fields.
In our state-approved curriculum, students take one Integrated Sciences and one Integrated Humanities course each year, in addition to classes in foreign language, Health and PE, allowing them to graduate with a Louisiana High School Diploma. Academic Studio students are required to take and pass all of the same LEAP 2026 (and End-of-Course State) tests required of all public high school students in Louisiana, and they do so at the highest levels, with the Academic Studio regularly ranked among the top open-enrollment academic programs in Louisiana.
