A+ Schools began in North Carolina over 20 years ago with the vision of transforming schools and valuing the arts by integrating them into traditional classrooms. Since then, the A+ method has been implemented in over 180 schools across North Carolina, Oklahoma, Arkansas, and Louisiana.
Louisiana A+ Schools began in 2013 as an initiative of the George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts (GRFA). In 2017, after several years of success, the Rodrigue family transitioned LAA+ into its own public non-profit organization to ensure the growth and long-term sustainability of the mission. LAA+ is supported by GRFA and the leadership of a diverse statewide board.
