Educators for Quality Alternatives operates alternative schools in New Orleans serving

students who have dropped out, been expelled, or otherwise have struggled academically or

behaviorally in traditional school settings. Our students leave school with the skills, confidence,

and experience to succeed in the career and education paths of their choice. EQA runs three

high schools: The NET: Central City, The NET: Gentilly, and NOAH: New Orleans Accelerated

High School. EQA also runs a therapeutic middle school program, The Bridge, and a childcare

center for students’ infants and toddlers, The NEST.
