We are incredibly grateful to Keesler Federal Credit Union for surprising our SU Jaguars with school supply boxes! 📚✏️ Each scholar received a box filled with essential school supplies to help ensure they have the tools they need to complete homework and be successful throughout the school year. Thank you, Keesler Federal, for investing in our scholars and supporting their learning!

These scholars? They showed up. Every. Single. Day. 🎓🕶️
We set a 95% attendance goal for the 2025–2026 school year, and our Élan community came through with 96%. That kind of commitment doesn't happen by accident. Thank you to every scholar and every family for making presence a priority. Let's keep this same energy this new school year!
Excellence starts with showing up. ✨
The first day is done. 💙💚
Year 10 begins.
A decade of educating, equipping, and empowering…and we’re just getting started!
A special thank you to Orleans Parish School Board District 4 Member Griffin Chantelle KaTrina for always showing up for our scholars, and to our dedicated Board Member Darren Patin for his unwavering service to Élan Academy.
Welcome back, Gladiators!

This is what kindergarten should feel like. 💙
Joyful. Safe. Where every child is known, loved, and challenged to grow.
At Élan, our youngest scholars get two teachers in every classroom, so no child slips through the cracks. They leave kindergarten reading, confident, and proud to be a Gladiator.
Best part? It is completely free. No tuition, no fees, open to every family in New Orleans.
We are enrolling kindergarten for 2026-27 right now, and seats are limited.
