About CA4A

What is CA4A?

College Access for All (CA4A) is a powerful city-wide program working to ensure all New York City high school students graduate “college and career ready,” empowered to succeed at whatever postsecondary option they choose. Our goal is to raise the bar of success for every student, shifting the focus from high school graduation to post-secondary success, and graduating students with the skills, mindsets, and long-term planning abilities required to succeed in the post-secondary pathway of their choice.

How Does CA4A Work?

College Access for All offers every high school three years of funding, as well as access to a community dedicated to increasing college and career access for students by advancing the best practices needed to build a “college and career ready” culture in every high school. This support is anchored in four core components:
