The Mission of Mildred Osborne Charter School is to empower scholars through a rigorous and holistic academic experience to succeed in high school, excel in college, and make an impact on their community and world.

ARISE Schools is a New Orleans based network of high performing schools which includes ARISE Academy, founded in 2008 located in the Upper Ninth Ward, and Mildred Osborne Charter School, founded in 2013 located in the Kenilworth area. ARISE Schools feature a rigorous, arts-integrated education focused on the whole child. We are very proud of the hard work that is contributed daily by all our scholars, teachers and families. Our mission of high school, college and life success is well under way. At both of our schools you will find everyone striving to be their better selves.
