Opened in 2013, Young Audiences Charter Schools are open-enrollment, arts-integrated charter schools operating in Jefferson and Orleans Parish on three campuses.  Recent research shows that students at schools with an arts-integrated curriculum scored higher on standardized tests and academic measures than those at other types of schools, including academic magnet schools. (PAIR, 2013) Additionally, students involved in the arts have better attendance, fewer behavior referrals, increased class participation, and are more likely to report a love of learning.
