You don't have to finish a year that isn't working

Yes. Unlike traditional schools, Louisiana Key Academy offers rolling admissions. When your child needs help, we’re ready to provide it.

Applications are processed in the order they’re received. Once eligibility is confirmed, your child is placed on either the accepted list or the waiting list. Seats open up throughout the year.

Children who apply after Open Enrollment closes are processed in the order their applications are received. Pending completion of the application process and meeting eligibility requirements, students are placed on the appropriate list - accepted or waiting list. If your child is on the waiting list, don’t be discouraged! Often, seats open up throughout the summer.

Yes. LKA is a public charter school funded through state and federal education dollars. There is no tuition, and all core services including specialized dyslexia instruction are provided at no cost.

Our full academic curriculum is aligned to Louisiana state standards, so your child continues the same coursework. What changes is how reading and writing are taught.

Our Baton Rouge campus operates one limited bus route, and we’re working to expand options at our other campuses. Our team will share current information during enrollment.

Completing the online application only takes a few minutes. However, the process isn’t finished until all required documents are submitted. Once we receive your documents, our team reviews everything and follows up with you. Most families hear back within 3–5 business days after their documents are received, and any needed testing is scheduled with Dyslexia Resource Center  as quickly as possible.

At Louisiana Key Academy, our Structured Literacy teachers are Certified Academic Language Practitioners or Therapists. They have advanced training in how to teach students with dyslexia. Our teachers understand the “sea of strengths” that dyslexic children possess and intentionally build on those strengths in every class. They also provide targeted support for reading and writing weaknesses using evidence-based, structured literacy methods that are woven into all subjects—not just reading. This specialized training and whole-school approach make our teachers uniquely prepared to help dyslexic students thrive.

At this time, Louisiana Key Academy does not provide full transportation services. 

Our Baton Rouge campus currently operates one limited bus route, and we are actively working to expand transportation options across all campuses. The LKA community is raising funds to add additional bus routes so that more families can access this service in the future.

If you are interested in transportation options, our team will share the most current information during the enrollment process.
