About Us

Learning is a journey of choice, challenge and opportunity at Centennial Area Learning Center (CALC). Our environment encourages students to be themselves and to tailor their learning to their individual needs and desires. Expectations are high at CALC, with curricula and programs that follow district standards. Special emphasis is placed on career-to-work to help students develop the skills that make them work-ready.

The Alternative Learning Center offers both a day and night program for high school students:

The day program serves high school students who seek a diploma but prefer a less traditional approach to instruction and learning. The program follows the district calendar and meetings during the day, Monday–Friday. Students must complete a registration process before attending classes.

Targeted Services for Grades 1–8 are after-school programs to enhance math and reading for elementary and middle grades students. The activities focus on academics, personal development and socialization.
