The CALE High School Difference

Our approach is centered on innovation, personalized learning, and giving students the tools and opportunities to take the lead in their own educational journey. For over a century, the structure of high school has largely remained unchanged, with the Carnegie unit, introduced in 1906, serving as the cornerstone of academic credit. This system, based on seat time and standardized measures of class attendance, became the gold standard for course credit and eligibility for higher education.
​
However, as technology has transformed every other aspect of society, the traditional model of education is increasingly out of touch with the demands of the modern world. The introduction of the internet in 1995 marked the beginning of a new era, and over the past three decades, technology has fundamentally shifted how we access knowledge. Today, learning is not confined to the classroom or the time spent there. With a click or swipe, students have access to an unprecedented wealth of information and learning opportunities.
