Escuela Popular (EP) began as a community-based grassroots school to address a growing need for English instruction in East San Jose and as a consequence, has been providing educational services since 1986. Within the first year of its operations, the demand for learning and schooling grew rapidly and EP continued to expand in numbers of students,   classes, and services to meet the growing needs. EP currently has 3 academies; K-8th grade Dual Language Academy, 9-12th Grade Youth Academy, and 9-12th Grade Adult in the PM and AM academy. Our school is open from 7 AM to 11 PM.
