About CCPA

Our unique 7-year program offers stability and supports students to meet the requirements for college admission. Our graduates go to UCs, CSUs, and private universities.
CCPA invests in teachers and family relationships to meet learners’ unique needs and support their development into thinkers, communicators, and powerful community members. We strive to value their passions and interests and connect their learning to the real world. We require students to demonstrate what they know and are able to do.
