Bringing the Future of Education to St. Landry Parish

Our Plan

Helix plans to build a 42,000 SF state-of-the-art K-5 facility, set to welcome students in the fall of 2025. Subsequently, we will expand to grades 6-8 in the 2026-2027 school year and continue adding one grade per year. Our goal is to become a full K-12 institution by the 2030-2031 school year. The design vision for this new campus has emerged from collaborative meetings with our leadership and stakeholders. It focuses on an innovative medical and AI STEM curriculum, emphasizing project-based learning and leadership development within our local community. Our educational planning aligns with our commitment to innovation and community building, leveraging 21st Century Learning Environments in a modern facility that will serve as a community beacon.
