Our seven-year program allows us to prepare all of our graduates for entry to four-year colleges - our students go on to UCs, CSUs, and private universities. The stability of our program across middle and high school allows us to build powerful relationships with students and families to support a positive school culture and high student achievement.

Coliseum Prep Academy is a complex community that has the shared values of community, curiosity, persistence, and achievement. We utilize our strong community to support students in being curious about the world around them and persisting through challenges in order to achieve their unique goals. Our school program will meet each learner's unique needs, value their passions and interests, connect their learning to the real world, and require students to demonstrate what they know and are able to do.. Our school program meets each learner's unique needs, values their passions and interests, connects their learning to the real world, and requires students to demonstrate what they know and are able to do.

CCPA is a full service community school, coordinating services from across our community to meet the needs of our students and families. Through partnerships with multiple community groups, we provide supports to help all students achieve high standards.

This includes an on-site health clinic, mental health services, a compulsory after-school program including enrichment programs, and a fully functioning Family Resource Center (FRC). Through our FRC we coordinate a full range of supports for families. We have support for basic needs such as ESL classes with childcare provided, food bank, clothes closet, legal and tax services. We also have support with parenting through a variety of workshops and supportive groups.

The FRC also builds parents' college knowledge and ability to academically support their child to success in college. CCPA also supports students in the classroom with a strong school culture built to teach social emotional skills and value to students.

Concurrently, CCPA is building an innovative and challenging academic program to engage students in their learning and make them competitive college applicants and students. At the high school level, CCPA offers a college and career pathway in Social Justice, and Computer Science called Community Leadership and Innovation Pathway (CLIP) that culminates in our innovative Internship and Early College Enrollment Program and our senior project https://sites.google.com/ousd.org/ccpa-senior-capstone-2018-19/home . This work coupled with the increasing number of Advanced Placement and dual-enrollment college courses and categorical lift in our academic expectations has raised our students' academic readiness for college and drives them in their engagement in their education.

Our Special Education population is fully immersed in all of the above aspects of the school. We have worked to fully include all of our mild/moderate special education students across the board from core classes and electives, to pathways and college and career readiness.

Our program uses a blend of co-teaching and co-planning between Special Education and General Education teachers, push-in support across disciplines, self-contained intensive support classes, and academic support through pullouts. The Special Education team works to serve all students in the school regardless of official caseload. We aim to serve students in the least restrictive environment using teachers in targeted ways that play to their strengths.
