Why not visit and experience our Primary Learning Community firsthand?
We’d love to have you.
It has really helped me to know that no matter how silly I think a question is, it has value to ask questions and it can help others too. This school makes other schools look boring.

CalCC is amazing because the teachers listen and help you when you need to ask a question. The students are friendly and make you feel comfortable when you start.
It’s fun because there are lots of fun afternoon sports you can join and create friends.
