Mission and Program Overview

Mission

Since 1976, the chicago area alternative education league (caael) has enabled alternative schools to provide high quality extracurricular athletic and academic programming to a wide range of children of different ages, abilities, challenges, and backgrounds.

See attached statementstudents in caael member schools are the most severe cases, the most at risk of failing, and when they attend alternative schools they tend to lose access to the extracurricular activities that research shows add so much to a student's growth and learning. Caael was implemented to fill this disheartening gap. Caael is the only organization that provides this broad scope of programming for illinois' growing number of special education and at-risk youth.caael utilizes a two-pronged approach in fulfilling its mission: (1) provide at-risk and special education students with access to life-enriching academic, athletic, and art programming and (2) provide adults who face the challenge of educating these often hard to reach students with a set of instructional tools to help them better engage, motivate, and teach these students.
