Escuela Popular educates to transform lives
Escuela Popular is a family learning center that serves Pre K-12 children and adults who are seeking a high school diploma. Escuela Popular which developed from a grassroots effort to address the growing need for English classes for residents of the East San Jose community and has been continued to provide expanded educational services to meet the changing needs of our student population since 1986.
Within the first year of operation, the demand for learning grew rapidly and Escuela Popular continued to expand in number of students, classes and services. Today, Escuela Popular has evolved into a K-12 charter school that serves students enrolled in its Dual Language, High School and Childcare Academies. Escuela Popular enhances the participants’ opportunities for achievement before, throughout and beyond high school. We are committed to providing meaningful learning experiences in a small school setting.
