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 — ensuring college, career, and life success for all children.

The vision of CEN is to dismantle systematic educational inequities through the creation of high quality neighborhood schools, leveling up the community as a catalyst for change and choice.

We believe the greatest act of social justice is to prepare all children for future academic, career, and life success. Our organizational values outline our belief in what this work takes.
