The organization runs three alternative high schools: The NET:Central City, The NET:Gentilly, and New Orleans Accelerated High School for students who have dropped out of, been expelled from, or who have otherwise struggled in a traditional school setting.  EQA also operates a therapeutic middle school program, The Bridge.  EQA programs are built on the belief that alternative schools should not punish or “fix” young people; they should be vibrant, flexible, and restorative environments that support students in being their best selves.

Virtual Learning Program

The NET: Virtual, is designed for young people who present with a physical, mental health, or environmental challenge that prevents them permanently or semi-permanently from physically attending school. 

The program is currently housed within The NET:East High School  and serves approximately 25 12th graders from EQA and non-EQA schools.
