What is the school’s mission and philosophy? The GEO Academies mission is to empower students to accelerate their academic pathways to advance their social mobility and achieve their career and life-long goals.

How does the school differentiate itself from other charter schools in the area? GEO’s model is a student-centered, content-rich K-12 education model that provides a personalized and competency-based approach to learning necessary to close achievement gaps beginning in elementary schools, ensuring middle school students are on at least high school grade level by the summer before 9th grade, and ultimately preparing low-income students to begin college coursework on college campuses as early as 9th grade.

What are the core values that guide the school community? Integrity, Grit, Perseverance, and Inclusion.

Are there advanced placement, honors programs, or dual enrollment classes available? GEO schools have honors programs beginning in kindergarten. All high school students, beginning in 9th grade, have the opportunity to earn college or career credits–dual credits included.

What extracurricular activities and clubs are available? Each of GEO’s Baton Rouge schools has extracurricular activities that include sports, clubs, and ancillary programs.

How does the school foster a sense of community among students? GEO Schools host school-wide events and even network-wide events like homecoming, Mardi Gras parades and spirit week. High school students also tutor younger students.

How can parents get involved in the school community? Parents are encouraged to be active in their child’s educational journey and participate in events.
