“I was drawn to CA because of its atmosphere — I loved the sense of community that was clearly integral to the school both socially and academically.”

“One thing I feel very strongly about is the teachers’ unwavering dedication. Their commitment to the students and the material is impressive and inspiring.”

“My favorite things about boarding life are the more mundane gatherings on the weekends, at SHAC nights, or late at night during the week to play volleyball. ”

“I chose CA because I found that it possessed a degree of both intimacy and respect between students, teachers, and all members of the community and because it was a place that allowed for people of different interests and backgrounds not only to coexist, but to flourish.”

“I love that at CA I am able to learn from my teachers both inside and outside of the classroom.”

“For me, common trust is the glue that holds our community together. It is the trust and respect between faculty and students”

“CA provides me with the flexibility to focus on my passions both inside and outside the classroom while also having a non-competitive but extremely challenging environment that is supportive and welcoming.”

“CA allows students to not only find their passion in academic subjects but also in themselves. The faculty and students here really challenge me to have a better understanding of our connected world and better knowledge of myself.”

“I chose CA because of the people. I have always been a person who thrives in tight-knit communities, and I have most certainly found that in CA, to a larger extent than I could have imagined.”

“CA has really shaped me into the person that I am today. I am deeply indebted to the community here.”
