Catholic elementary school in Metairie offering ADD/ADHD support, small classes of 17, and faith-based education for grades nursery-7
St. Louis King of France School is a Catholic elementary school in Metairie, LA (Nursery–Grade 7) that offers ADD/ADHD support services for students with attention-related differences. With an 80% acceptance rate and rolling admissions, the school provides a structured, faith-based environment with small average class sizes of 17 students and a high ratio of faculty with advanced degrees (75%), supporting individualized attention for learners who benefit from smaller settings and additional support.
The school emphasizes educating the whole child—physically, intellectually, emotionally, morally, and spiritually—and maintains low student-to-teacher ratios, particularly in preschool and early elementary grades where students with learning or developmental differences often thrive. Beyond academics, students participate in sports (soccer, flag football, volleyball), arts programs (choir, drama), and clubs that foster peer relationships and social-emotional growth.
Tuition averages $5,900 annually (higher for younger grades due to lower student-teacher ratios), and the school is accredited by AdvancED and the Southern Association of Colleges and Schools. For families seeking a Catholic education with specialized support for ADHD and attention-related challenges, contact the admissions team at (504) 833-8224 or visit slkfschool.com for details on enrollment and support services.
