Mission Statement

​
The second mission is to increase the meaningful involvement of parents and the community in the process of educating children and to provide service and outreach support and partnerships that will strengthen families and the community.
Our History
New Vision Learning Academy is an independent, public charter school, located in Monroe, LA. It became the first Type II charter school in north Louisiana, when it opened on September 6, 1998. As a Type II charter, New Vision is required to eligible serve students from all over the State. However, its students are primarily from Monroe area and surrounding parishes. While New Vision is approved to serve students in PK-12, it currently enrolls students in PK-6.
​
New Vision’s curriculum is based on a unique blend of Core Knowledge and Directed Instruction. It provides a rich program of core subjects, technology, physical education/nutrition health, character education, and other enrichment courses. The program also includes a highly successful special population program.
​
The educational program is offered through an extended academic year, after school, weekend and summer programs to all of its students. As a result, New Vision’s students have maintained perfect performance on the LEAP, and earned the School multiple Exemplary Achievement ratings over the past five years.
