Audubon Schools

Audubon Schools' mission is to foster a culturally rich and academically rigorous learning environment using French & Montessori curricula with a comprehensive arts program. Audubon students are actively and purposefully involved in their learning so they become responsible citizens in a changing world.

Established in 1981, Audubon quickly became a cornerstone of its community through strong parent-faculty partnerships and innovative educational programs. In 1986, a French program was introduced, gaining international recognition and culminating in a historic 1990 agreement designating Audubon as an official French School. After Hurricane Katrina, the community successfully petitioned for charter status, and in 2006, Audubon Charter School was formed under FAME, Inc. The school now operates two Uptown New Orleans campuses: a Lower Campus (grades K-3) and an Upper Campus (grades 4-8). Due to growing demand, Audubon expanded in 2018 by opening Audubon Charter School - Gentilly, a K-8 campus that blends Montessori methods with heavy arts and language enrichment.

Testimonials

Years before I had children, I knew I wanted them to attend Audubon Charter. As a teacher there in my 20s, I saw firsthand how both the French and Montessori programs foster critical thinking and a love for learning. When it was time for my own children to start school, Audubon was my first choice. My son, a graduate of the French program, now excels in high school, and my daughter thrives in 6th grade. Audubon challenges, supports, and prepares students to be global citizens. I highly recommend
