The Cesar Chavez Education Institute is a project of the National Farm Workers Service Center that was founded by Cesar Chavez in 1966. The institute was established as a non-profit organization for the purpose of increasing the education opportunities available to students in schools who can benefit from additional instructional services to achieve a higher level of learning.

The Institute's instructional program consists of a forty (40) hour sequence of lessons, primarily for English Language Learners who need language development in English Language Arts and/or Pre-Algebra/Algebra.

Classes consist of small groups with a highly qualified teacher for one hour twice a week with classes continuing until the end of the school year. During the hour of instruction, students meet with the teacher, work on a homework assignment, and work on a computer activity.

We believe all students can learn. But they need a strong foundation before high school for success. Our lessons are focused on basic skills and are aligned with the content standards as adopted by the California State Board of Education.
