Star Academy - 5th Ward

When Culture Meets The Classroom

STAR Academy is an innovative learning experience powered by Reading with a Rapper, designed to merge literacy, creativity, and real-world relevance into one unforgettable program. Each session gives students the opportunity to explore reading, writing, and self-expression through music, media, and culture—guided by certified educators and mentors who make learning come alive.

Our goal is simple: to inspire students to read, think critically, and create boldly.

What Parents Should Know

• Class Times: Each student must attend the class at the specific time and day selected during registration. Please review your ticket carefully—the time listed represents your student’s official class session.

• Arrival: Campuses open 10–15 minutes before class. Students may arrive during that window for check-in, t-shirt pick-up, and preparation.
