Transforming Lives

Ensuring a transformative and equitable education for our kids and communities.

About CEN

Our work is rooted in a set of beliefs and values, framed by a core commitment to ensuring an excellent and equitable education for our kids and communities.

Mission

The mission of CEN is to build a system of remarkable neighborhood schools in traditionally under-resourced communities using a trauma-informed, whole child approach to education - ensuing college, career, and life success for all children

While the world in which we live distributes talent equally, it does not equally distribute opportunity. CEN was created to provide those opportunities to traditionally underserved communities.
