      Not great

      Business outlook

      Pros

      - Hybrid work environment - A ton of vacation and Christmas off - Pretty good benefits and Health Spending Account

      Cons

      - Hard to move up within the company because there's a huge role gap between directors and coordinators. - Very toxic work environment with very high turnover on the support staff side - Support staff make below average salaries. - Very little support with moving up in your role. - Management does not actually make any changes even when the entire organization has voiced concerns on anonomous feedback surveys. - Little diversity in staff.

      Great place to work!

      Teacher

      CEO approval
      Business outlook

      Pros

      Dedicated to students with learning disabilities and challenges Caring and supportive staff and administration Smaller class sizes Remediation programs for students Passionate and enthusiastic support staff On-site IT department with prompt support and access to basic technology Major changes seem to be influenced by research, feedback and best practices in education not just buzz words and short term trends If staff, teachers and even students aren't the "right fit" for whatever reason, support and action is taken to rectify or help improve the situation (keeps employees focused and prevents staleness) Qualified teachers who actually enjoy teaching their subjects and grade levels

      Cons

      Building could use an update, especially in the high school side where most of integrated studies are taught More CTS options would be great for students (Public schools definitely surpass CA in this area. Students at CA need to be exposed to more career choices that realistically cater to their interests and strengths) Timetables/schedules could use work (other schools should be used as inspiration Entitlement and privilege can definitely be felt in the school. But there are some teachers and students who come from public schools that help keep things grounded No diversity program Grade inflation Does not offer Knowledge & Employability courses even though CA students may excel in the program

      Would not suggest working here

      Pros

      They have some nice employees but high employee turnover so unsure if the same people still work there.

      Cons

      If you are not a teacher I would not suggest working here. If you are a support staff you’ll experience extreme disorganization and un professionalism. They have no idea what they are doing and have no direction. Time is constantly wasted and the environment is not enjoyable to work in.
