DuBois Elementary School of Arts and Technology, located on Brownlee Road in Memphis, Tennessee, is a specialized charter school that emphasizes a dual-focus academic model. The school is designed to integrate traditional elementary curriculum with a heavy emphasis on the arts—such as music, visual arts, and performance—and modern technology. By blending these two disciplines, the school aims to cultivate creativity and digital literacy in its students from an early age, preparing them for a rapidly evolving educational and professional landscape.

As part of the wider network of DuBois schools in the Memphis area, the institution typically operates with a focus on high expectations, character development, and rigorous academic standards. The school serves the local community by providing a structured environment where students are encouraged to think critically and solve problems through both artistic expression and technical application. Its mission centers on bridging the achievement gap by offering a well-rounded educational experience that balances foundational skills with enrichment opportunities that might not be available in standard elementary settings.
