About Our School

PUC California Academy of Liberal Studies (CALS) – a California Distinguished, Title I Academic Achievement Award-Winning , Gold Ribbon Award-Winning and WASC Accredited School – was founded in 2000 and serves the communities in Northeast Los Angeles.  With approximately 320 students, the school was founded on the premise that schools empower students to uplift their communities through academic rigor and community service. Students are thought of as scholars and catalysts of change.

 

A college going culture is strongly emphasized at PUC CALS Charter Middle School. By instilling the notion that all students are college bound, PUC CALS aims at closing the achievement gap.

 

The mission of the PUC California Academy for Liberal Studies is to offer every enrolled student a dynamic learning environment within a small community committed to educational excellence and personal integrity. PUC CALS guides its students as they discover and cultivate their unique gifts and talents, challenging each individual to achieve his or her full potential.
