Opening for this 2015-16 school year, the stand-alone new middle school will occupy the former site of Sarah T. Reed High School. The school will host grades 6-8 and take on an additional 375 students on the lower floor.
Einstein Charter Middle joins the recently opened Einstein Charter School at Sherwood Forest, and both are replications of Einstein’s original Village De L’Est campus, the first open-admissions elementary charter school in the East.
Einstein operates the only top performing, tuition free, open admissions, “B” rated PK-8 schools serving New Orleans East.
For the 2016-17 school year, Einstein will expand to open Einstein Charter High School, a new high school on the upper floors of the Sarah Towles Reed Campus.
The ribbon cutting celebration of the founding of the school will include food and entertainment by Einstein’s student jazz band.
