I've been very pleased with this school on all fronts; the academics are first class, family support is outstanding, and perhaps most importantly, they believe in high standards in a loving, diverse and supportive environment. The kids are happy and engaged every day, and complain when I pick them up. There is low teacher turnover, and the administration is accessible and very in touch with each student as an individual, never a "number". I can't recommend this school enough, and am proud to be an ICS mom.

So far My son and I are loving this school. I'm going to start off with the Cons because I honestly…read moredon't have many. The neighborhood that the school is in has terrible roads. Most of the houses in the immediate area are French Style New Orleans homes so it's really cute. Just be aware that if you drive a couple blocks down in the wrong direction the roads will start tearing apart and scenery will change. I've told a few people my son will be attending this school and most ppl applaud the news. I hear great feedback from other parents of a mix of different races and I've only heard good things about them. During orientation they stressed about how they are a school who welcomes families of different cultures and students who have differences. And I feel like they mean it. During orientation one of the teachers was giving a story about how much they care about their students and how racism is around us so much and the students who attend this school will learn how to accept one another and learn and understand the different cultures of different races and learn to love one another. The lady was in tears at the end of her speech and I just knew she meant every word of it. We did apply for a scholarship to attend the school, we applied rather early and we got in. They have an online system to pay for lunch, field trips, donations etc.. which I think is very organized. They do have a bus service for New Orleans parish residence, for Jefferson Parish, parents have to pay for bus service. Inside the school is very clean, everything looks fairly new, colorful, bright, and organized. I'm really picky so yes I looked around. The equipment in the cafeteria also looked fairly new and clean. They stress the importance of music, art, and physical education. Which most schools do not. Also they have a speech therapist at the school. Some people tried to discourage me from bringing my son to a language school when he has some catching up to do with his speech. It's amazing to see that he's not the only child who struggles with speech and they have professionals there to help regardless if he's learning one language or two. They also have after school programs like home work help if they stay in after school care, science club, and Soccer Shots. My son just started attending, we find out who our teacher is on Monday but I'm really excited, some say it may be challenging but we are ready for it.

My daughter is THRIVING here and is so excited to come to school that she runs down the street, through the gates, down the hall, and immediately to her classroom. Joining this school was like joining a Hogwarts house - we didn't join a school, we joined a vibrant community. Many of my daughters classmates have had all their relatives go to school here, the ties run deep! They have so many ways to get involved, socialize, and fun events that it feels like I joined a club or sorority. I run into parents from my daughters class outside of school often and I no longer feel like a stranger to New Orleans, but a welcomed member of my new community. Being a part of this school has been my favorite thing about New Orleans so far. Also, I love the outfits, the logo, and the breathtakingly beautiful grounds. The best schools in Salt Lake City (and the competing schools in the area) can't hold a candle to this place. Worth every penny. P.S. Of the Hogwarts Houses, this school would be Gryffindor. ;)

The…read moreteachers each year have been so willing to work with me and the special education coordinator is spectacular. I have never dealt with principal, Jane Dye, but the assistant principal, Mr. Smith is very involved and friendly with the students and parents. The public schools in the parish have a great reputation, but this is an excellent option for military families and their children. You have staff and other families who understand the life of a military child. Some things to keep in mind: If you live off base, you will most likely have to take and pick up your child(ren). Bussing is limited so check to see if you qualify. My experience is that locals sometimes don't look kindly on our school. I think they feel we're snubbing them. So if you live in town, consider checking out the public schools as well. The school is k-8. If you have a middle schooler, this experience is a little different from regular middle school. For us it was a better situation for my son. However, I am a little concerned about his shift from this environment that can often be a little like elementary school, to high school. Also, I am concerned about him moving to the public high school from here and having to deal with that local resentment I mentioned. This is a charter school so you may want to do some research if you are unfamiliar with those.

I am very thankful for the teachers they have had from 2nd to 8th grade (these are the grades attended) . All teachers were easily accessible and responded to all my inquiries same day sometimes within the hour. The best part from my experience with Belle chasse Academy is the communication, I have been in the know when it comes with anything involving my kids. Communication is sent through parent square app, posted on their Facebook page and for extremely time sensitive information receive an automated call. Both my kids have had the opportunity to be in advance math which will have them enter high school with a math credit completed. BCA has many opportunities for advanced students to continue advancing in all core classes and earn high school credits in 8th grade. For our family BCA has been a great school and exceeded our expectations.

Darn it, Jen. L! I thought I could get a "1st to review!"…read more But I guess I will be the 1st person to review this place that actually attended this school.. so here it goes! I started Ursuline as a freshman. When I got there, a few girls had attended the school since kindergarden. Those girls that had been there for a while were pretty smart because their curriculum allowed them the opportunity to get ahead. So by the time I got there, they were in advanced classes. Just being a high school student there was a great experience. Ursuline puts on this one huge event every year in October called Rally. It may seem like a bunch of crazy girls screaming at the top of their lungs in costumes and face paint, but it is so much more than that. And you don't really understand until you are in the Ursuline family. Every class has a mascot that is passed on to the incoming freshmen by their big sister seniors. So it rotates every year. You have 2 and a half months to come together as a class and organize your theme, costumes, songs, cheers, and a lot more to put on a performance. The first prize winners get their mascot name and year on a plaque on the wall... winning rally not only gives you bragging rights, but also respect. When your class wins rally, the other classes respect you and look up to you because it means that your class' organizational and leadership skills surpassed theirs. The concept of rally prepares young ladies to develop leadership and teamwork skills. No one can will rally alone or by doing everything individually... it requires a lot of communication. I can proudly say that my class - the Sioux class of 2008 won rally for 3 years in a row and the one year we did not win, we got runner up. Ursuline also teaches young women the importance of "serviam" to serve others, in addition to Courtesy, Loyalty, and Courage. These are the 4 critical elements of an Ursuline education. I'm proud to say I attended Ursuline Academy and that the education I received here led me to become a better leader, an active member of my community with courtesy, courage and loyalty.
