Description
CMMA is a CA Partnership Academy and we work with moslty low income students of color from grades 10-12. Students stay with CMMA for three years taking classes with the same teachers and students. Interdisciplinary curriculum focuses on social justice issues as we build a tight knit and supportive community. Projects often include media work: web, print, video and radio. Creating a college going and academically rigourous culture for underserved youth are central goals of our work.
