A charter school operator new to the city will open its doors in Northwest Pasadena next month, hoping to draw students from low-income families and those who are learning English.
Celerity Exa Charter School began recruiting kindergarten and elementary school students on Monday after reaching a verbal agreement to lease the Hodges Children’s Center from the Pasadena Unified School District for one year, district spokesman Adam Wolfson said.
A formal lease awaits approval by the Pasadena Board of Education, which ratified Celerity Exa’s charter petition in June.
