Elementary & Middle School
The Bayou District Foundation has executed a Memorandum of Understanding with Akili Academy to create a permanent K-8 facility within the Bayou District in the next few years.

Enrollment begins in January 2012 for the 2012-2013 school year that will take place from their current off-site campus located at 1700 Pratt Drive, New Orleans, LA 70122, less than 5 miles from the Bayou District.
