ADVANTAGE ACADEMY HAS EARNED THE TOP GAINS AWARD

It is with GREAT PRIDE and EXCITEMENT to inform all parents of Advantage Charter Academy that we have EARNED the Top Gains Award from the Louisiana Department of Education for our scholars performance on the 2017 LEAP Test. When we opened our school doors in August 2014—the scholars that began with us came from a school system that was rated “F”. In our three history as a school we have worked to improve and have officially earned a SPS Letter Grade of “C.” Our goal is to become an “A” rated school. We thank you for choosing us and we are making a difference in the lives of all scholars that we serve.

Advantage Charter Academy Joins the Fight for a Cure

KUDOS! KUDOS! KUDUS! During the month of October 2017, Advantage Charter Academy family held a “Pink Week” October 23-27, 2017. Every staff and scholar were challenged to wear pink and donate $1. Upon receiving all donations, I am PROUD to inform you that we have blessed one our current parents who is currently fighting Breast Cancer.

Moral Focus Word of the Month The quality or feeling of being grateful or thankful: is a feeling or attitude in acknowledgment of a benefit that one has received or will receive. Gratitude helps us realize what we have. This can decrease our need for wanting more all the time.
