École St-Landry (École) is a public school in Saint Landry Parish (SLP), Louisiana, which makes us tuition-free and an option for any student residing in SLP and beyond—most commonly coming neighboring parishes. We are a Type-1 public charter school.

École is unique among other schools throughout the parish and even the state of Louisiana. We are French-immersion elementary school. All subjects are learned in French, with the exception of English, known in Education as English Language Arts and ELA.

Charter Schools

Charter schools are tuition-free public schools of choice that are independently run by a nonprofit community board and authorized by an elected board, either a local school board or the state board of elementary and secondary education. In the case of École St-Landry, we are a Type 1 charter school in Saint Landry Parish.

As a public charter school, we are responsible for every single dollar of our start-up costs, which include facility rental and renovation, student books and curriculum, furniture, administrative salaries, and much, much more.
