About Community Education Building
Mission: To build the best educational support system possible that allows every student who walks through our doors an equitable opportunity to be successful.
The Community Education Building (CEB) has a vision to transform lives through equitable education opportunity.
Our Why:
The CEB exists to ensure that every child has an equitable opportunity to succeed in school and is prepared for life after high school. We envision a world where families thrive, and students succeed regardless of their race or zip code. It starts with what we know about the inequities in education and with a recognition that schools can’t do everything alone. We understand that many students are affected by many adversities and come to school with all of that on their shoulders. We believe that student success begins with family stability. We seek to provide every student equitable access to a high-quality education by meeting the needs of the whole child and the whole family.

History:
Thanks to the generosity of Bank of America more than a decade ago, Longwood has been on a journey to change education in Wilmington. In 2012 The Longwood Foundation was gifted BBIV from Bank of America and supported the 270,000 sq ft building renovation to create an integrated home for schools and social service partners. Longwood established the Community Education Building as a non-profit to manage the building and coordinate the efforts of the resident partners with the purpose of support schools and students so that our coordinated whole is greater than its parts.
