Excellence and Justice in Education

Excellence and Justice in Education (EJE) Academies is a dual-language charter school dedicated to preparing students from diverse populations to excel in higher education and to be leaders in creating a just global community. EJE is a success story in terms of how it has taken the in-kind, financial and management contributions of SDSVP and produced measurable outcomes. It has met its stated goals and objectives and has gone beyond those in its initiation and development of a charter school initiative. EJE increased the number of parents participating in its programs, provided new information and training to those parents (legal rights and advocacy), tracked the academic improvements of the children of those parents, and its programs have been replicated in the community.

EJE is a solid business operation with a new budgetary system, fiscal reporting, new databases and fund raising capabilities. EJE’s membership represents a strong network of parents who have the skills and the leadership qualities necessary to communicate effectively with school administrators and members of the community. In the final analysis, EJE is a sustainable organization, both fiscally and organizationally, thanks to the investment made by SDSVP, and the hard, but gratifying work of individuals in both organizations.

“When I look back upon this past year and the countless blessings I’ve been fortunate enough to receive, I count on SDSVP as one of those blessings. Your trust in us never wavered, and your mentorship added significantly to the growth of EJE. My appreciation for your help and support is never taken lightly. Your partnership and support made me realize that, by working together, we can do things we never dreamed possible.”
