Financial Stewardship

& Educational Efficiency

CLCS Schools, Inc. takes enormous pride in the efficiency with with we utilize State of California public funds and other grants and financial donations.

Despite the ever-shrinking funding of California's public schools, ACLC and Nea defy the odds with ever-expanding course and elective offerings. These encompass an innovative STEM program (Science•Technology•Engineering•Math), a thriving Arts curriculum, a comprehensive Social Sciences offering (including an honors track), and more.

Our reciprocal relationship with the Peralta College District offers our high school learners a comprehensive array of college classes in the subjects of their choice through the College of Alameda, Berkeley City College, Laney College and Merritt College.

Through sound financial management and strategic hiring, CLCS has helped our schools maximize the impact of standard public school funding. We have also managed to build significant financial reserves which will allow us to sustain vibrant educational programs and be less susceptible to funding cuts that could so severe damage to other area schools.
