Educating The Whole Child

Mind

Mind

Students of strong MIND are able to succeed in rigorous academic classes because they have a strong foundation of basic skills combined with deep conceptual understanding, sharp critical thinking, and intellectual perseverance. They also exhibit curiosity, a love of learning, and creativity.

Body

Body

Students who are strong in BODY are physically fit, have healthy eating and sleeping habits, and value choices that lead to life-long health and well-being. Ideally this means that students engage in strenuous daily physical activity and understand the importance of good nutrition.

Spirit

Spirit

Students who are strong in SPIRIT exhibit self-confidence and compassion for others and value being part of a nurturing community. At FirstLine our students, parents, teachers and staff practice gratitude and caring along with achievement traits such as grit and conscientiousness.

OUR MISSION

The mission of FirstLine Schools is to create and inspire great open admissions public schools in New Orleans.

Due to the threat of potentially severe weather moving through the New Orleans metro area later this afternoon, we have decided that it is in the best interest of our students and staff to push dismissal up two hours from our regularly scheduled Thursday dismissal times.
 
This means that Green, Live Oak, and LHA will dismiss at 11 am today (instead of 1 pm), while Ashe & Wheatley will dismiss at 12:15 today (instead of 2:15).
