CNCA meaning in Academic & Science ?

Camino Nuevo Charter Academy is a group of charter schools serving the Westlake/MacArthur Park area of Los Angeles. In 2003 Camino Nuevo Charter Academy was awarded the Rudy Bruner Award for Urban Excellence gold medal. The school was founded by Philip Lance, an activist Episcopalian priest, community organizer, and psychologist.

Camino Nuevo Charter Academy operates two middle and two elementary schools in the same neighborhood. Students have a longer school day and year than students at traditional Los Angeles Unified School District schools, and smaller class sizes. Camino Nuevo schools are very involved with parents and the community at large; the school even operates a health clinic for family members.

Camino Nuevo High School, known as the Dalzell Lance Campus, received a 751 on its Academic Performance Index score, significantly higher than any other high school in its neighborhood. The school was awarded a 10 out of 10 from the state of California for its similar schools ranking. 80 percent of sophomores passed the CAHSEE on their first attempt, compared to only 67 percent of Los Angeles Unified School District students.

Camino Nuevo's official mission statement is "to educate students in a college preparatory program to be literate, critical thinkers, and independent problem solvers who are agents of social justice with sensitivity toward the world around them."
