Contemporary Learning Academy is a small, urban high school serving grades 9 to 12 as well as 18-21 year old students in the transition service program. Our students have the option to earn a diploma in less than three years and enroll in community college courses. We have adopted a Grading for Equity approach to ensure students have the opportunities to master the necessary concepts and learning habits for a successful school experience. We offer internships, career exploration, an advisement program, and a 1:12 teacher-student ratio to ensure our students have a positive learning experience and are prepared for their next endeavor. We have a GED preparation option as well.
