Parents in partnership with CLA

It is very important to the administration and faculty of CLA, for parents of students to trust and support our curriculum, our mission, our faculty and staff, and our guiding principles.  We encourage parents to demonstrate patience and realistic expectations for their children in the learning process.  We seek parents and students who share our common goal of educating the whole child –intellectually, emotionally and physically.
