Between Equitas & Collegiate

 

Equitas Academy and Collegiate Charter High School of Los Angeles (CCHS) are pursuing an exciting new partnership that will benefit both of our organizations.

This TK-12 partnership will support a shared goal to be the premier school of choice for all students in Pico-Union and prepare students for college, careers, and life pursuits.
