CEP is a leading provider of academic and behavior improvement programs for public school students in grades 6 through 12 who are:

• performing two or more years below their expected grade level in reading and math
• failing two or more core subjects
• retained in grade for one or more years
• not achieving required scores on state skills tests
• at-risk of dropping out of high school

We work in partnership with school districts, teachers’ unions and community leaders to help these students get back on track toward high school graduation in a safe, respectful and caring learning environment.

CEP programs remove the barriers that prevent students from becoming high school graduates.

Our programs provide academic intervention and help each student achieve his or her academic, behavioral and social goals. Our school district partners use our programs not as a punishment, but rather as a part of their overall approach to provide each student with the greatest opportunity for success.

We have demonstrated that the most challenging students – including those on the verge of dropping out – can get back on track and return to their own public schools - better prepared to succeed and graduate.
