Every child deserves access to an education that sees more in them than grades, test scores or a single definition of success.
Collaborative Education Alliance exists to help students access meaningful whole-child education and to provide the resources that make strong learning environments possible.
Beginning with Evergreen Leadership Academy, our founder school, CEA works to expand access to whole-child education and strengthen students’ learning experiences. Our support is focused in two key areas.
CEA provides scholarships, bursaries and other forms of financial assistance to students in need, helping make private whole-child elementary and secondary education more accessible to families who may otherwise be unable to afford it.
CEA provides funding and resources for books, educational equipment, learning materials and other educational aids that directly benefit students and enrich their learning experience.
CEA's work extends beyond providing direct financial and educational support. We also create initiatives that encourage young people to think differently about learning, challenge and excellence.
One of our current initiatives is Games of Excellence, a team competition for children ages 7 to 13 designed to challenge how they think, create, communicate, collaborate and respond to unfamiliar problems.
Explore Games of ExcellenceOn June 16, 2026, CEA held its inaugural fundraising gala, bringing together families, educators, community members and supporters who believed in what we were setting out to build.
Their generosity helped launch CEA's work and provided support for student access, educational equipment and learning resources at Evergreen Leadership Academy, our founder school.
To everyone who attended, contributed, donated, volunteered or simply helped spread the word: thank you.
That evening was our beginning. We're excited about what comes next.
Academic ability matters. So do character, resilience, creativity, leadership, responsibility and the ability to think independently.
CEA was created around the belief that meaningful education should prepare young people not only to perform academically, but to become capable, confident and responsible people.
Our work began by supporting students and educational resources at Evergreen Leadership Academy, our founder school. Over time, CEA intends to extend its reach to more students and educational communities aligned with this vision.
