Who we are Collegiate Academies is the first charter management organization in New Orleans to focus solely on high schools. Collegiate Academies believes that, even as late as high school, traditionally underserved students can achieve college success and pursue the lives and dreams of their choosing. To see us in action, watch this video. Sci Academy, our founding high school, opened its doors in 2008 with just a 9th grade. This past year, that founding class graduated from Sci. When they entered, they performed on average at a 4.5 grade level in both reading and math. Upon graduation, 94% of them were accepted into a 4-year college or university. That is our goal: to make college success a reality for scholars, no matter how old they are or what their levels are. There are many high school programs around the country working to close the gap that have feeder middle schools. But there are virtually no examples of schools that are closing the gap starting in the 9th grade. We believe in a growth mindset - that it is never too late to start the path to college success. This year, we opened two new schools, Carver Prep and Carver Collegiate, each with a 9th grade, with the same goal in mind for all scholars: college success. Positions available For this coming school year, positions are available in English, Mathematics, Science, Social Studies, Foreign Language, and Special Education / Intervention, across grades nine through 12. We will be hiring for Sci Academy as well as for the 10th grades we will add at our two new schools, Carver Collegiate Academy and Carver Preparatory Academy.
