About Our School
Our Story
Center for Advanced Learning - (CAL) is a free, independent, public charter school based in South Los Angeles. We offer a rich and engaging instructional program, where our students have the opportunity to learn through experiences inside and outside the classroom. This is achieved through field trips, access to technology, extracurricular activities and cultural programs. The area surrounding our school is densely populated, with more than 43,000 people living within a 2.18 square mile neighborhood known as Central Alameda. CAL was authorized by the Los Angeles Unified School District in 2007 and our charter was renewed to operate until 2022. CAL serves a student population of 312 students in grades TK-5. Over 95% of our students live within the surrounding neighborhood. Our student population is about 3% African American, 97% Hispanic. 39% of our students are English Language Learners and 10% are students with disabilities. Over 90% of our students qualify for free or reduced lunch. Despite being situated in one of South Los Angeles’ high-crime communities, our students and families are resilient and embody the spirit of community.
We offer a rich and engaging instructional program, where our students have the opportunity to learn through experiences inside and outside the classroom.
