Academia del Este de Los Angeles
OUR STORY
The Academia del Este de Los Angeles (AELA) started as a drop in homework and tutoring center in East Los Angeles for students in the community. It provided tutoring for only $2 dollars an hour, a small library, and internet access. Today, the AELA is focusing on ways of increasing parent engagement by working with the families, not just the student. Thus, it assists parents and children to work towards higher education for their family.
WHAT WE DO
At AELA, we hope to promote the necessary education for our clients to meet their life goals. From basic life skills to college readiness, we do it all. Through our various presentations and workshops, we aim to inform the community on important topics such as the process of going to college, the recovery model, and teamwork.
OUR MISSION
Here at AELA, we acknowledge the importance of vocation. We believe that everyone has a calling to live a happy and fulfilling life. We find that education is an important tool towards reaching one's fullest potential and vocation. Thus, AELA concentrates on placing importance on schooling within families in order to help students prosper whenever they are called.
