Bricolage Academy

Inspired Learning. True Belonging. Help our students keep loving school!

At Bricolage Academy, we don’t just measure success by our ranking as one of the highest-performing schools in New Orleans. We measure it by the smiles in our hallways and the growth in our classrooms.

In our latest student survey, the message was clear: Our students feel they belong.

• “My school cares about me and they care about me learning.”
• “They take care of me.”
• “I love Bricolage because it is right for me.”

Proven Rigor & Performance

Bricolage continues to be one of the most in-demand schools in the city, consistently outperforming expectations. Our Spring 2025 LEAP results showed exceptional growth.

Most importantly, our "striving students"—those in the lower half of performance bands—are growing faster than ever. This is a direct result of our deep investment in wrap-around academic, social-emotional, and mental health interventions.

A Stable Foundation for Equity

We are showing that high performance and no admission requirements go hand-in-hand. True equity, however, requires more than just representation; it requires a culture of belonging and a stable environment where every child feels at home.

We are proud of the community we have built together:

• A Consistent Team: The vast majority of our teachers and interventionists chose to return to Bricolage this year, ensuring our students see familiar, supportive faces every day.
• A Loyal Community: Nearly all of our families chose to return to our classrooms this fall, a testament to the trust our parents place in us.
• Support for Every Learner: A significant portion of our student body (20%) is supported by our dedicated Special Education team, ensuring every innovator has the tools they need to succeed.

Go Beyond the Basics

While state funding covers the basics, your gift allows us to go beyond—providing high quality curriculum and student interventions, enrichments, special education support, mental health service and the environment that makes our students say,

"I LOVE SCHOOL."

Help us continue to prove that when a child feels seen, valued, and safe while receiving high-quality instruction, they can change the world. Join us today with a gift of $10 or more!
