CEN is a mission and values-driven organization committed to being Child Centered, Caring, Transformative, Accountable, and Anti-Racist. 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.
