Welcome to the Crescent City Schools network. Crescent City Schools is a nonprofit, charter management organization that serves nearly 2,600 students across four campuses here in New Orleans: Harriet Tubman Charter School, Tubman Montessori, Dorothy Height Charter School, and Mildred Osborne Charter School. We are also proud to operate the Aurora Program, an alternative program that is accessible to students from all four CCS campuses as well to students from other schools in the city.

Julie Lause and I founded Crescent City Schools in 2010 in order to address the specific need of transforming failing schools in New Orleans. As veteran educators, we know what needs to be done in order for schools to improve and achieve success with students. We believe in the unlimited potential of each child who comes into our school buildings, and we work tirelessly to recruit and retain the best professionals in education so that our students can receive an excellent education.

Crescent City Schools is proudly committed to operating open enrollment schools in New Orleans, and we are known for our dedication towards making the city better for all students.

I invite you to learn more about Crescent City Schools, not only by perusing our website, but also by visiting us in person at one of our campuses. I promise you that you will be impressed by what our students and staff are accomplishing every day.
