I am a former student of Cali. This school was the best experience that ever happened to me. Just the way you get to know your teachers, how theres not one kid in your class you don't know. It's just a wonderful place. It also developes a sense of belonging. You don't fully appreciate it until you graduate,

My mother co-founded the school, and I see how it works internally. I have never seen such a devoted staff. They truly care about the education of the kids. Read less

Cali Calmecac is the greatest place to send your child to. As a former student, I absolutely loved it.

As a public school educator, I am concerned each time focus is placed on the results of mandated standardized tests. Cali is an excellent example of a school that is doing a superb job of educating ALL students. Their bilingual, biliterate program does more in the long run to 'level the playing field'

I agree with standardized testing. While Cali's test scores are low they are not indicative of the quality of education. The way children are taught paves the way for future learning. The fact that the children learn two languages and are immersed in a shared cultural experience greatly enhances their

In a perfect world all kids would be above standard. Many, many children in conventional schools also fail to meet standards, and are no better for the experience. At the very least Cali students will be bi-lingual and be better prepared to succeed in a pluralistic society. I wholeheartedly recommend Cali Calmecac. Read less

Where do I even begin on how Cali has helped me? Well I can say that Cali is the greatest schools in California, that's my opinion.
