JOY Lake Charles

This week's BARP conversation had us laughing!

When River asked Beau what he would do if he had to attend a different school, Beau painted quite the picture—including an eagle that couldn't fly. 🦅😂

But beyond the laughs, his answer offered a thoughtful perspective on why he enjoys his experience at JOY Lake Charles.

“Don’t worry, you’ll edit it out.” 😂🎙️

This episode of BARP may have started a little chaotic, but Beau and River somehow turned it into a conversation about responsibility, hard work, and figuring things out as you go.

No scripts.
Just vibes and life lessons apparently 🤍

Abby, our wonderful Discovery Studio Guide, shares what it means to guide learners instead of leading every step for them, creating space for problem solving, independence, and growth along the way.

At Joy, learners are trusted to explore, make mistakes, try again, and discover what they’re capable of. Not through constant instruction, but through trust, guidance, and space to grow. 🤍

BARP has officially welcomed its first guest 🎙️😂

This week, Beau and River sat down with Charlotte to discuss her future career as a veterinarian, her favorite thing about JOY Lake Charles, and...lizards.

According to Charlotte, a lizard once bit her finger — but she still likes them because “that’s just how they communicate.” 😂🤍

(Stay until the end for River’s enrollment pitch!)

Summer break energy: activated ☀️😂

Sawyer asked the learners what they’re most excited about this summer, and the answers are the perfect mix of wholesome, hilarious, and very relatable 🤍

Part 2!

The countdown to summer is officially over ☀️

Sawyer went around asking the learners what they’re most excited about for break… and their answers did not disappoint 😂🤍

Part 1!

BARP is back 🎙️😂

This week, Beau and River tackled a very important topic:
what makes someone a good leader?

Things took a turn when River said you need a good team to lead well… and Beau came in with a different opinion entirely 👀

According to Beau, even underdogs can “make miracles happen.”

Their conversation says a lot about confidence, teamwork, and believing in people 🤍
