La Causa Charter School (La Causa) was established as a non-instrumentality charter school beginning with the 2003-2004 school year. La Causa has two campuses located at 1643 South 2nd Street (main campus) and 809 West Greenfield Avenue (early childhood center). The contract is for up to a maximum of 810 full-time-equivalent (FTE) pupils in grades K4 through 8.
La Causa’s goal is to have students graduate bilingual, biliterate and bicultural. La Causa’s mission is to provide innovative, foundational, and culturally rich academic programs focused on fine arts and vocational education, bilingual education, while engaging the entire family in their children’s educational experience.
