About Einstein Charter Schools:
The mission of Einstein Charter Schools (“Einstein”) is to nurture students to be academically STRONG as well as socially and emotionally resilient. Founded in 2005, Einstein Charter Schools is a top performing, tuition free, open admissions network of 4 schools in New Orleans East, serving grades PK-12. Authorized by the Orleans Parish School Board, we service the needs of more than 1,700 students, over 30% of whom receive ELL services. Since opening in 2006, Einstein’s Village De L’ Est campus amassed six years of unprecedented, continuous academic gains, removing the school from the severely underperforming list and leading us to replicate the school three times in four years.
Continuing our record of success, after opening Einstein Charter School at Sherwood Forest in the fall of 2013, we founded Einstein Charter Middle and Einstein Charter High in the former Sarah Towles Reed High School facility. By 2020 we anticipate serving the needs of over 3,000 students in grades PK-12 across five schools. Our ambitious plan has been funded by the United State Department of Education when we received the Charter School's Program grant for replication and expansion of High Quality Charter Schools in 2015.
