Kehoe-France Southshore is a private, coeducational IB World School in Metairie, Louisiana, in the New Orleans area, for children from 8 weeks old to Grade 7. Its roots go back to a summer day camp founded in 1949 by Patricia Kehoe and Frank A. France; the family moved to the present Elise Avenue site in 1958 and opened the school program with a preschool class in 1962, later adding elementary and middle grades. The school began implementing the International Baccalaureate in 2016 and is part of the International Schools Partnership (ISP). Today it combines Reggio Emilia-inspired infant, toddler and preschool rooms with the IB Primary Years Programme and an inquiry-based middle school, with Spanish from preschool and regular use of iPads, Chromebooks, coding and robotics. Students sit MAP tests, which the school says exceed national averages, and every graduate reportedly gains a place at their first-choice high school. Life on the tree-lined campus includes more than ten sports in the local independent league, choir, band, art clubs, student council and a Grade 7 international trip to ISP partner schools, and the campus still hosts the long-running Kehoe-France summer camp.
