Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Within the last two academic years, classical academy charter school of clifton (cacs) has been undergoing a remarkable period of growth and transformation. While maintaining its standards of academic excellence, cacs relocated to a larger facility in clifton, nj, in order to provide its students with more space to pursue diversified educational opportunities. This transition also allowed the school's administrative team to redesign the health and physical education program and to design and implement an art program. Both of these programs have been fully integrated into our advanced curriculum comprised of a daily student course load of english, languarge arts, middle school math, science, social studies, and latin. These additions have yielded to a 20% increase in parent and student satisfaction, contributed to an increase in student performance, and has contributed to our students' considering different areas of interest in high school academies and career planning.

The classical academy charter school of clifton's mission is two-fold: to offer public-school educational choice to parents most of who could not otherwise afford such choice and to implement the following significant reforms: removal from the curricula all non-academic subjects, every student required to take two language arts subjects and two math classes each year, a classical curriculum well proven for its educative powers, scholastic policies which support high levels of academic learning, an educational climate compelling excellence in scholastic achievement, and behavioral standards critical to sound character formation.
