About

Preparing Students to Change Their Worlds

Education is a Lifelong Process

Our educational goals for students extend beyond the classroom; students are influenced by everything they see and do.

We provide our students with rigorous fundamental and foundational skill sets that prepare them to be successful in any academic environment or institution now, or in the future. We hold them accountable for the development of the content of their character, and for participating in activities that will help them achieve their full potential.

An education is only as strong as the vision, staff, students and advocates behind it. At CLA/VPA, we inspire a vision for education that empowers students to be leaders of our future, change agents in whatever professional environment they aspire to.
