Mary E. Courtenay Language Arts Center in Uptown offers pre-K through 8th education. If you've been in or around Courtenay recently, you've seen the abundant community support. Yet like many neighborhood schools, Courtenay is under-resourced. Friends of Courtenay aims to fund programs and materials to help teachers and staff to invest in the rich potential and exuberance in every child.

Friends of Courtenay is a nonprofit organization made up of caregivers, alumni, community members, and local partners who invest in the school's academic mission and vision, so every young neighbor in Uptown has a joyful learning experience.
