Program Information College Bridge Academy Watts was established by The Los Angeles Education Corps to address the growing need for educational and supportive services in Watts and the surrounding community. We are located inside the historic Pitts Community Center and share our space with SHIELDS For Families, The Watts Coffee House, and Mafundi Auditorium. While we are not a continuation school (we are WASC accredited and our students graduate with diplomas) most of our students are here because they struggled at traditional public schools and area charters. CBA Watts provides students with access to arts programs, qualified mental health professionals, job and career specialists, and other community outreach. We offer many unique programs and partnerships which center on project-based learning and arts-integrated curriculum. Most of our students will be the first in their family to attend college, and many of our students will be the first to earn a high school diploma.
