GEO Academies of Greater Baton Rouge Louisiana is part of GEO Academies, a non-profit organization founded in 1998 in Indianapolis, Indiana. GEO is focused on providing access to exceptional, non-traditional educational opportunities to all families. GEO Academies gets results that matter to our families, taxpayers, and the communities we serve. We eliminate high school dropout rates by making high school relevant to our students. We improve college-going rates by providing our students with a real college experience while in our high schools and it begins in kindergarten.
The GEO Academies Model
GEO's model is a student-centered, content-rich K-12 education model that provides a personalized and competency-based approach to learning necessary to close achievement gaps beginning in elementary schools, ensuring middle school students are on at least high school grade level by the summer before 9th grade, and ultimately preparing students to begin college coursework on college campuses as early as 9th grade.
"It is absolutely incredible that this school has figured out exactly what the whole point of education is, which is preparing young people for a brighter future for an opportunity to actually go on and seize a better life."
Chris Meyer, CEO Baton Rouge Area Foundation
"Out of all the schools we have in Louisiana, GEO has done the best job with kids who need it the most. And for me, that is the most special thing...The main thing is educating children and GEO does that better than anybody for kids who need it the most."
New Schools Baton Rouge
"We believe that if families have the option to choose what’s best for their student that kids going to grow up in college and career competitive rather than having to live the life that chose you. These kids will live the life that they choose and that’s what GEO represents."
