Contreras Learning Center-School of Social Justice

Contreras Learning Center's School of Social Justice sits in the heart of downtown Los Angeles, drawing students who are passionate about civic engagement and making a difference in their communities. Academics here lean toward the humanities and social sciences, which fits naturally into a school culture that encourages students to think critically about the world around them — and they're surrounded by one of the most politically and culturally rich urban environments in the country to do it in. Families who value purpose-driven education and want their kids immersed in the energy of a major city will find a lot to appreciate here.
