School handbook
The policies families ask about most. The complete handbook is issued at enrollment and revised each year.
On discipline
Discipline here aims to shape behavior and foster personal responsibility rather than to punish. The goal is self-discipline and internal motivation — students internalizing the standard rather than performing to avoid a consequence.
Upper school timing
- For grades 7–12, applications arriving after the second week of school mean newly accepted students in grades 9–10 will not be admitted until the start of the second semester.
- Generally, we do not allow students to enroll after the second week of a student's junior year.
Admissions policy
CAL has a long-standing policy of nondiscrimination and admits students of any race or ethnic origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities accorded students at CAL. CAL does not discriminate based on race, religion, gender, or ethnic origin in its educational program or any of its school activities.
The complete handbook — uniform, attendance, technology, discipline procedure — is issued at enrollment. The office can send a current copy on request.
