JCFA Charter Schools provide a non-traditional pathway for Louisiana students to earn a high school diploma. JCFA's curriculum features a low 10:1 student-teacher ratio, and blends on-line academics with daily in-class instruction. JCFA students attend school year-round, but are required to be in class for only 3.5 hours/day. Our flexible schedule allows students to maintain jobs, to support their families and communities, and to explore opportunities unavailable in traditional high school programs. JCFA is a Louisiana homegrown and locally operated Charter Management Organization. A member of the Louisiana Association of Public Charter Schools, JCFA currently operates three schools in the Greater New Orleans area. We opened our fourth school, JCFA-Lafayette in August, 2017 and will open JCFA EBR in Baton Rouge in July 20205. JCFA has been recognized by the Louisiana Department of Education as a Top Gains in 2022, 2023 and 2025 and Opportunity Honoree in 2023 and 2.
