School Notes Overview:

It is the mission of Cal Coast Academy to prepare a diverse community of young people for a lifetime of intellectual exploration, academic growth, and social responsibility.

School Notes:

OUR UNIQUE APPROACH TO LEARNING: - A small campus filling a big void. At the core of what we do is this simple recognition: people don't all develop at the same pace, neither do they all find traditional teaching methods effective. We dedicate ourselves to identifying the best personal learning styles for our students and giving them the tools they need to succeed. This is an ongoing process. It's intense and time-consuming. It's interactive. It's personal. OUR STUDENTS: - Our students are bright and talented individuals. Some have struggled their entire lives in traditional classrooms. Others have earned excellent grades, but as high performance competitors and the absences associated with the development of their talents, they fair better in our cooperative format. OUR NETWORK OF SUPPORT: - Cal Coast Academy is a flexible program, tailored specifically to any individual who might need additional support. We address immediate needs while also cultivating long term skills in studying and all academics. Our afterschool study hall is another supportive tool we offer.
