The Los Angeles Education Corps (LAEC) is a 501(c)3 nonprofit established in 2008 as the charter management organization overseeing College Bridge Academy (CBA) charter school and The Education Corps (TEC) charter school. All LAEC campuses are accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC).
In July 2026, our six campuses - in Inglewood, Long Beach, Paramount, Pico-Union, South Los Angeles, and Watts - unified under one charter school: College and Career Academy (CCA). Our new charter authorizer is Nevada County Superintendent of Schools. Located in impoverished pockets of Los Angeles that are notorious for crime, gangs and large failing schools, CCA is comprised of six small learning communities of approximately 100 to 130 students each for students who need a second chance to obtain their high school diploma. Each campus provides an oasis for young people 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 seeking an alternative to the under-resourced schools in their neighborhoods are equally welcome. Each campus partners with one or more high quality nonprofits to provide wraparound services to its students. These nonprofits include conservation corps agencies, YouthBuild programs, and Workforce Innovation & Opportunity Act (WIOA) programs. |
