In addition to pursuing high academic achievement, CAL fosters many broad goals: to promote well-being, to develop resilience and empathy, and to see that all students achieve their potential. But none is more important than the essential goal of building good character and, by extension, of helping each young person make responsible choices and live an honorable life.

Each faculty member at CAL has made a conscious choice to teach here. They enjoy our students’ irreverent humor and draw energy from their natural exuberance. Their passion to teach requires a commitment to build relationships, craft a curriculum, and lead a classroom that engages students in the way they learn best.
