Our Vision

EJA envisions a relationship-centered public school system that truly values parents and students as decision-makers and active agents of change. In this educational system, education is a human right and schools are safe, healthy and nurturing environments where every student has the opportunity to reach their full potential. Schools prioritize the work of preventing trauma, repairing harm and promoting healing, and reject a culture of punishment and criminalization. Schools provide equitable resources, adopt culturally relevant curricula, and address racism and all forms of oppression.
