ESY NOLA and Arthur Ashe Charter School


The new Arthur Ashe Charter School

Over 200 Lutheran teen volunteers from across the country gathered at the new Arthur Ashe Charter School site, 1456 Gardena Drive, on July 18 to help transform the facade with a colorful array of florals, sunflowers and cypress trees, in anticipation of the first day of school, August 6.  Ashe officially moved  over the summer, from its temporary Uptown location, to its permanent, newly constructed building on the Bienville Elementary site in the Lake Park neighborhood of Gentilly. The new site includes a garden-science classroom, a teaching kitchen, a fully-equipped cafeteria kitchen, and plans for several themed gardens, arches and pathways,  and a one-acre production garden.
