OUR MISSION Camino Nuevo Charter Academy educates students in a college preparatory program to be literate, critical thinkers, and independent problem solvers who are agents of social justice with sensitivity toward the world around them. SUCCESS STARTS WITH US We believe that educating children is everyone’s job. Across our schools, nearly 500 staff members, from custodians to teachers, work hard to create safe and welcoming spaces for our students to learn. Our team is motivated by six core anchor values: excellence, equity, community, innovation, joy, and belonging. OUR HISTORY Camino Nuevo Charter Academy was founded in 1999 by Pueblo Nuevo Development, a nonprofit community development corporation in the MacArthur Park neighborhood west of downtown Los Angeles. The first campus opened its doors to students in August 2000. The MacArthur Park neighborhood is one of the city's most under-resourced and densely populated neighborhoods. Most of the residents are immigrants from Mexico and Central America. In 1992, Dr. Philip Lance began working with residents of the community to find ways to address the severe economic and social needs in the area. Over the next 10 years, several organizations and businesses grew out of this effort, including a thrift store, a worker-owned janitorial company, a non-profit community development corporation, a free clinic and Camino Nuevo Charter Academy. Together, these organizations have transformed the MacArthur Park neighborhood into a safe and healthy place to live and Camino Nuevo schools have provided children with outstanding and enriched educational opportunities.
