Advanced Study Academies
Jefferson Parish Schools Advanced Study Academies (ASAs) are designed to expose the most highly capable students to a challenging, rigorous, and accelerated curriculum. The academies focus on high-potential students who are successful in gaining admission through the ASA admissions process. Please note PreKindergarten enrollment at our ASAs is not tuition-free.

-
Students whose initial test scores were within 10 percentile points of the cutoff (85th percentile)
-
Students who did not apply during the first application period
Round 2 applications will be accepted from Friday, May 2, 2025 at 8:00 am until Friday, May 16, 2025 at 5:00pm
Applications for this cycle will only be considered for schools or grade levels that have available seats. Click here to apply
