CHARTER SCHOOLS
are independent public schools with their own governing board. Charter schools have greater freedom to design and develop unique curriculums as well as use different teaching styles and methods.
They manage their own budget, create their own unique school culture, design their instructional program, develop and organize their leadership structure and set their own graduation requirements.
Since the New Mexico Charter Schools Act was passed in 1993, more than 40 charter schools have been founded here. In July of 2004, Cesar Chavez Community School, a charter high school, opened its doors in Albuquerque.

Students who are ready can earn credits in a program that let's you move ahead at your own pace. Students who need help getting ready will improve reading and/or math first in our skill-building English and Math classes. CCCS offers a flexible, individually paced high school curriculum designed for non-traditional high school students such as working students or students with families.
At CCCS we
- offer afternoon and evening classes for your convenience
- look at your reading and math skills at entry and work with you to improve any weak areas
- when your reading and math skills show us you are prepared, we place you in the self-paced classes where your credit is awarded as soon as it is earned; this allows you to move ahead whenever you are ready – hard work can pay off with a fast track graduation
- honor your real life commitments with work study credit and free child care
- strenghten your success with a staff mentor
- support your future through CNM credit and career awareness.

WHAT MAKES US DIFFERENT?
CCCS strives to have a caring and safe learning environment. Clear expectations, fairness, and consistency regarding rules help students to make good choices while at school. Students cannot learn if they do not feel safe.
At Cesar Chavez Community School (CCCS), each student’s dreams are fostered and nurtured into maturity. Students who have previously experienced academic challenges in more traditional school environments find that they can excel at CCCS. Our teachers and staff strive to provide individualized attention that enables students to gradually develop the confidence in their abilities that enables them to eventually graduate and successfully transition into adult careers.
The intent of CCCS is to provide high caliber educational services during times that are more convenient for non-traditional, working students. Students who need to improve basic skills in reading and/or math will get focused interventions in preparation for the accelerated graduation option.
CCCS is dedicated to providing personal involvement and commitment in a small-school learning setting. Research has indicated that personal student mentors, flexible hours, on-site daycare, and small classes all contribute to a student’s success in academic pursuits. We expect our program to attract learners who are currently juggling responsibilities like jobs or families with the completion of their high school goals.
So, if you want to complete your high school education and receive your diploma and you seek a small, non-traditional, and safe academic environment, then Cesar Chavez Community School can provide you with that opportunity.
