CURRICULUM

Our team firmly believes that learning is a lifelong process and is committed to continuous growth and improvement for our students and as an organization. As of May 2024, we have developed a new and improved version of our adult high school diploma program, which is known as Odyssey (referring to a journey we are embarking in this stage of life). This change was done after extensive research of comparable programs, evaluating our own student data, and passion from our team to see students through completion of our program and success in their lives/career.

C4L Academy is proudly accredited by Cognia: a global accrediting agency dedicated to ensuring continuous institutional growth using research-based standards to analyze education providers. You can find out more about how we were work with them here.
