The George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts' Louisiana A+ Schools (LAA+) program is accepting applications for the 2017/2018 academic year. LAA+ is a network that provides teachers with the essentials to think more creatively about how students can apply learning to the real world, and how they can present curricula in ways that nurture the whole student. At the center of this program is the use of the arts in every subject, in every classroom. There are currently 18 schools in the LAA+ network.
Louisiana A+ Schools values creativity as
essential to the learning process.
The deadline to submit a Letter of Interest is February 6, 2017.
Louisiana A+ Schools Application Procedure:
Step 2: Begin your investigation into what LAA+ Schools can do for your school by completing a LETTER OF INTEREST FORM. This indicates your school's commitment to attend an informational Pre-Appliction meeting. The Letter of Interest Form is due February 6, 2017.
