Mission Statement / Programmatic Model:
New Orleans Center for Creative Arts is a statewide, pre-professional arts training center educating secondary school children in culinary arts, dance, media arts, music (classical, jazz, vocal), theatre arts (drama, musical theatre, theatre design), visual arts, and creative writing, while demanding academic excellence. NOCCA offers a full-day, diploma-granting program. Students will leave NOCCA as creative, analytical thinkers and capable problem-solvers.
SCHOOL PERFORMANCE
Most New Orleans public schools are charter schools, public schools governed by non-profit boards. Each board is given a contract to operate their charter school for a number of years. When the contract is up for renewal, the Orleans Parish School Board or Louisiana Department of Education uses school performance to determine if the contract should be renewed. If the school hasn’t demonstrated acceptable performance, it may close at the end of the school year, or be taken over by a new non-profit board.
