Los Angeles Education Corps

Los Angeles Education Corps The Los Angeles Education Corps creates and manages accredited charter schools in urban LA County that serve 14-24yos seeking a 2nd chance at a HS diploma.

The Los Angeles Education Corps (LAEC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit that is the charter management organization overseeing College Bridge Academy (CBA) charter school and The Education Corps (TEC) charter school. LAEC's schools are fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges and operate through the Inyo County Office of Education. Located in impoverished pockets of Los Angeles an

d Orange County that are notorious for crime, gangs and failing schools, LAEC's campuses provide an oasis for youth and young adults who understand that their value is not dictated by their environment. Students who did not finish high school (for any reason) as well as those looking for an alternative to the under-resourced schools in their neighborhoods are equally welcome. LAEC oversees its eight small, supportive learning communities in partnership with highly regarded local agencies. In most cases, LAEC campuses are housed within their facilities. Together, we are actively engaging urban young people in holistic services that prepare them for a healthy, productive adulthood. Check out our locations and partners below:

On March 26th, 42 students from the TEC Long Beach campus took a field trip to Long Beach City College to learn more about opportunities they have there for taking college classes while in high school and for post-secondary enrollment. Many of these students went on a similar trip to Cerritos College several weeks ago, so now they have a good idea about some of the local community college offerings out there and how to enroll. As you can see, by this big group, the interest is growing!! A big thanks is in order to TEC Long Beach’s English teacher, Ms. Elexiss Green, who also serves as the campus’ point person for college transition, as she organized and led the trip!

A big congratulations is in order to our very own, Nancy Cervantes, who was honored last week with the “California Woman of the Year Award.” As a resident of Bell, CA, Nancy was chosen by Assemblywoman Blanca Pacheco to represent the 64th Congressional District.

Nancy has worked within our organization for the past 13 years, first at our Watts campus, then at our El Sereno campus, and now serving as the director/principal of our Long Beach campus. Prior to that, she worked for other youth-based nonprofit organizations, so she has devoted many years of service to our communities and young people. As such, this award is well deserved, and we’re lucky to count her as an LAEC fellow staff member.
