Common trust is the collective commitment to treat ourselves and others with respect and empathy. As a community, we can trust that our values, ideas, and perspectives will not be judged.
Share a moment where you knew you belonged at CA
On my first day at CA, I boarded the commuter rail from Belmont Center. I was anxious about making friends, my new classes, and most immediately, getting off on the wrong stop. When I entered the train I was met with a sea of smiling faces and a few nervous ones as well. I quickly learned that a large portion of day students take the train and it serves as an opportunity for connection. In that moment, I felt a sense of belonging and support as I embarked on my high school journey.
