Our Institution

Carlsbad Enrichment Center (CEC) at Edison Campus is committed to providing flexible educational pathways that cater to the diverse needs of every student. By offering in-person and remote learning, CEC ensures that students can excel in an environment that best suits them. For those significantly behind in credits, the Credit Recovery Academy offers support to help students catch up and graduate on time. Additionally, CEC provides a pathway for individuals who missed their original graduation opportunity to earn a high school diploma.  At CEC, we offer CMS Middle School and Carlsbad High School students an alternative school experience that better meets their needs than the traditional education system.

Our Vision

Our vision is to offer a flexible and inclusive learning environment that empowers students to reach their full potential. Carlsbad Enrichment Center aims to prepare graduates for their future while fostering a safe and supportive space for non-traditional learners.

Our Mission

Our school's mission is to empower students through academic excellence, personal growth, and community engagement, fostering critical thinking and creativity, to become leaders and positive contributors to their communities. We prepare students for lifelong success as responsible and compassionate citizens in an ever-changing world.
