A daily academic class schedule is provided on this web site, as well as in the handbook. The CACE program operates on a block schedule.

Students are awarded credit on a semester basis. Students may obtain 4.5 credits per semester for a total of 9 credits per year. *Contact the CACE administrator with questions about graduation and academic credits.

Parents and students will be regularly informed of their academic progress through home/school communication.
