Dear Caiman Families,
We’re excited to announce that the Studio and PL campus teams will be coming together for a special meal to celebrate all we’ve accomplished so far this year.
We’d love your help in making this lunch a delicious success! If you’re able to contribute, please take a look at the SignUpGenius link below to see how you can participate. Every contribution—big or small—helps make this celebration possible.
As always, we’re so grateful for our amazing CAHS families. Your generosity and support make events like this happen, and we couldn’t do it without you!
California State Law requires all graduating seniors to either fill out the FAFSA/California Dream Act or fill out the Opt Out Form (meaning you don't plan on filling out the FAFSA). The FAFSA form is the first step in getting federal financial aid and is what is used to determine Cal Grants, Pell Grants, and Subsidized/Unsubsidized student loans. Please click the link to let us know if you have, will be, or will not be filling out the FAFSA form. (As an additional note: filling out the FAFSA is also needed to in order to be eligible for the Promise Program through the community colleges)

Instructional Engagement
As a California independent study school, we are required to offer optional synchronous (live) instruction opportunities for students. This provides a chance for students to connect with a credentialed teacher in real time for academic support. There is no negative impact for the student if they do not attend.
At Classical Academy High School Studio, students are required to attend synchronous (live) instruction opportunities through our 4 day studio program Tuesday - Friday. If you would like more information about times available for extra support for your student, please reach out to their teacher directly. We also offer in person office hours after school from 3-3:10.
We are required to notify families when students do not take part. No action is required
Thank you for your continued support.
We are looking for awesome people to join our team! If you know someone who would like to work for an award-winning workplace, have them apply here!
