Academics & Programs
CCPA’s academic program is divided into three divisions, each with a distinct purpose and a corresponding structure to support that purpose.
Division 1 |
Division 2 8th – 9th grades |
Division 3 10th - 12th grades |
---|---|---|
D1 has a goal of rapid academic growth. To achieve our goal of every student on grade level by 8th grade, our Division 1 students loop with the same teachers for two years to build meaningful relationships. They also participate in a mandatory extended day until 5pm for intense academic support. | D2 is our traditional secondary school structure, with an emphasis on college preparation. Extended day academic support is also required for our Division 2 students until 4 or 5 pm. In 9th grade students begin Pathway course work. | D3 students participate in our Early College and Internship program on a modified half-day schedule. They have the option of taking CSU/UC transferable courses through Peralta Community Colleges, participating in a professional internship, and/or taking on a community leadership role. The goal of Division 3 is to successfully transition our students into college and/or career by initiating that process in a safe and supportive environment while building competitive college resumes and strong community leaders. |
