Our Values
Focus
“It’s not that I’m so smart... it’s just that I stay with problems longer.”
Integrity
“Real integrity is doing the right thing, knowing that nobody’s going to know whether you did it or not.”
Respect
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
Self-Determination
“Some people want it to happen, some wish it would happen, and others make it happen.”
Teamwork
“Sticks in a bundle are unbreakable.”
Adventures
ESYNOLA
Edible Schoolyard New Orleans is a FirstLine signature program that changes the way children eat, learn, and live. As Wheatley settles into its brand new facility, ESYNOLA is working to build gardens to support garden-based science and culinary classes.
Visit www.esynola.org for more information.
Athletics
Wheatley is a member of the New Orleans Charter School Athletic Association. Wheatley scholars in grades 5 through 8 can compete in flag football, baseball, basketball, volleyball, and softball.
Enrichment
Wheatley offers scholars afterschool clubs including art, ballet, dance, debate, gardening and culinary arts classes, Girl Scouts, yoga, running clubs and track, robotics and mentoring through Each One Save One.
Experiences
Lower School scholars take fruit-picking trips, visit an animal farm, and tour local museums. Scholars in grades 4 through 7 participate in end-of-the-year outdoor education field trips, ranging from canoing and hiking to wilderness skills and overnight camping. Our 8th grade scholars’ end-of-the-year experience focuses on high-school skills and college readiness. Eighth graders visit out-of-state colleges and participate in a five-week career prep program.
