Academy of the Sacred Heart
Uptown New Orleans - Ages 1 through 12 Grade
Faith. Academics. Service. Community. Growth. The 5 goals of Sacred Heart have been the cornerstone of our educational foundation from the day we first opened our doors in 1867. They unite us in tradition. They define us in spirit.
Now, we invite you to schedule a Personal or Virtual Tour to meet teachers, students and learn about the advantages of an all-girls, Sacred Heart education. Come see how our girls are truly inspired to change the world.
Open House Dates TBD

Jewish Community Day School
Metairie - 2 Months through 6th Grade
Jewish Community Day School offers a challenging academic and Jewish Studies program for children in Preschool through 6th Grade. At JCDS, each child is seen and each child is valued. With the benefit of small classes and differentiated instruction, kids find themselves meeting challenges that they never before thought themselves capable of tackling.
By learning about Jewish identity and history, by learning about each person’s duty to make the world a better place (Tikkun Olam), and by participating in a rigorous interdisciplinary curriculum, JCDS graduates become better critical thinkers, better advocates for themselves, and better advocates for others.
Fall Virtual Open House Date: Sunday, October 18 at 12:00 p.m.
RSVP to admissions@jcdsnola.org
Virtual and in-person tours are available by appointment.
St. Andrew's Episcopal School
Uptown/Carrollton - Ages 12 months through Grade 8
St. Andrew’s Episcopal School is the oldest Episcopal school in New Orleans with 63 years of experience in educating the mind, body and spirit of young children. St. Andrew’s enrolls boys and girls 12 months through Grade 8, offering fourteen years of nurturing yet challenging education that focuses on Cherishing Childhood, Developing Character, and Cultivating Leaders. St. Andrew’s offers an environment in which children develop confidence, achieve academic success, and embrace a lifelong love of learning. St. Andrew’s is unique not only for its intimate size – we are especially proud of our student-to-teacher ratio of 5-to-1 – but also for creating an educational environment in which every child is known and loved by experienced faculty and staff. At St. Andrew’s we celebrate the remarkable growth that occurs during the formative years from 12 months to age 14, and we strive to build on each child’s individual strengths, interests and abilities while fostering teamwork within the greater School community. St. Andrew’s utilizes small classes to promote a challenging learning environment where students interact with teachers and grow spiritually, socially and intellectually. A strong academic program, enhanced by state-of-the-art technology, includes Spanish, music, chapel, fine arts, athletics and information literacy skills. Student publications, dramatics, interscholastic sports, and community service round out St. Andrew’s program.
