At Helix Legal, we selected top Tier 1 Curricula to instruct our students. They focus on conceptual understanding, hands-on learning, and integrating the principles of law and STEAM. These high-level instructional materials will prepare our students to be problem solvers who can compete globally.

Weekly Schedule
Monday – Friday 7:30 am – 3:30 pm

Special Education Programming
We believe the most successful interventions for students with disabilities, exceptionalities, or language barriers, employ intensive and reasonably individualized instruction, combined with careful, frequent monitoring of student progress. We also believe students who need accommodations should be in the general education classroom receiving core instruction from the subject expert teacher while at the same time receiving extra support. Full inclusion is our model.  Furthermore, we will use research-based RTI methods and strategies to determine our students’ needs.

Special Features
Helix Legal Academy is inspired and informed by the unique local assets around it. Situated in the heart of downtown Baton Rouge, the legal academy is only steps away from state and federal courthouses, dozens of law firms, the Louisiana Legislature, and City Hall and is centrally located to provide its students with real world exposure to the legal profession. While students develop key legal competencies, engage with legal professionals, and immerse themselves in all three branches of government prominent in downtown Baton Rouge, they will also have a chance to develop STEAM related skills through an elective that follows the Project Lead The Way curriculum.

English- Wit & Wisdom

Math- Eureka Math

Science- Amplify Science

STEAM Electives- Project Lead the Way

Behavior Approach
We believe in creating a school economy that thrives on the community.  When one community member is in error, it is our responsibility as a group to help them learn from their mistakes in order to be reflective, self-aware, and intentional about their future decisions. We tackle any consequences for actions, and move forward.  We do not believe that mistakes define anyone, and we separate the offense from the person.  In the event we are at an impasse with behavior issues, we engage the families to decide how to support that student to achieve social and emotional success.

Student Activities/Clubs
Mock Trial, Moot Court, Robotics Club, Beta Club

We enhance our school curriculum with community partnerships. Currently, we have partnerships with Southern University Law Center, Baton Rouge City Court, the Old State Capitol, the Louisiana State Capitol, the Baton Rouge Metropolitan Black Chamber of Commerce, the Arts Council of Greater Baton Rouge, and others. These partnerships allow our students to learn more about their city and become civic minded. Additionally, each student is paired with a lawyer mentor who will guide them through school, life and beyond.
