The high school you choose can make a real difference! At the Clark Advanced Learning Center students benefit from a small school setting with personal attention.
A public charter high school
on the Indian River Community College Chastain Campus in Stuart, the
CALC serves about 200 high school sophomores, juniors and seniors with
diverse interests. CALC students participate in learning experiences
relevant to their career interests and real-world projects that inspire
motivation and achievement.
CALC students have the opportunity to earn college credits at no cost while still in high school. In fact, many CALC students graduate with a year of college completed, a savings of at least $3,000 at a public university and $20,000 at a private university.
The CALC will provide you with important benefits you may not find at other high schools:
A small school environment where your son or daughter will not get lost in the crowd
Opportunities to learn and use technology in every subject
A personal laptop computer for research and projects
Career-based internships based on your interests
