Lower School
The lower school, which is home to students from PreK through Grade 7, is located in the Mid-City neighborhood at 211 South Lopez, New Orleans, LA 70119. Morris Jeff has occupied the building since 2015. The school office entrance is on Cleveland Avenue. The gym entrance is on Palmyra. The carpool line begins on Banks, going down South Lopez towards Canal Street.
As an IB World School, Morris Jeff offers the Primary Years Programme (PYP) to students in PreK through Grade 5 and the Middle Years Programme (MYP) for students in 6 and 7. The IB curriculum encourages the natural curiosity of students and ties subject matter together in a meaningful, applicable manner through inquiry. Our faculty has developed cross-disciplinary units of study that allow students to form connections across the subjects. In addition to the standard core subjects of Language Arts, Math, Science, and Social Studies, students receive instruction in Spanish and the Arts daily. The framework of the IB curriculum enables all students to participate in research, independent and small-group projects, as well as presentations.
