Educators for Quality Alternatives

EQA serves students who have dropped out, been expelled from, or have struggled academically or behaviorally in traditional settings and are looking for an accelerated path to graduation. There are three high school campuses, The NET : Central City which opened in 2011, The NET : Gentilly which opened in 2017, and a third high school campus, The NET : East (formerly NOAH), which opened in 2020 as a merger with ReNEW Accelerated High School. Students at the high schools earn a high school diploma and participate in internships, career counseling, and career training in various fields including construction, medical, and digital media. EQA also serves middle school students through The Bridge Middle School, a therapeutic program for 7th and 8th grade struggling students. For all settings, our goal is that our students leave school with the skills, confidence and experience necessary to succeed in the career and education path of their choice.

Why become a teacher at EQA Schools?

We believe that our students, who are some of the city's brightest and most vulnerable young people, thrive when their teachers do. Because our schools are focused on meeting students where they are, teachers have autonomy to do what is best for their students. We trust you to make thoughtful choices to set students up for success.

EQA teachers often become agents of change in their students' lives and in our schools. In addition to autonomy, you will be part of a close knit team that works collaboratively to support students. With your guidance, you can work towards helping our city's youth in developing to their greatest potential.
