School Overview

The **Cooperative Area Learning Program (CALP)** is an alternative educational program operated by Independent School District 196 (Rosemount-Apple Valley-Eagan Public Schools). Designed as a supportive environment for students who may struggle in a traditional high school setting, the program focuses on credit recovery, academic acceleration, and personalized learning paths. Its mission is to help students meet graduation requirements by providing smaller class sizes, flexible scheduling, and a curriculum tailored to individual needs, ensuring that all students remain on track toward earning their high school diploma.

Beyond academics, CALP places a strong emphasis on fostering a positive school culture centered on student success and personal responsibility. The program works closely with District 196’s comprehensive high schools to provide a seamless transition for students, offering a range of elective courses and support services in a focused setting. By integrating social-emotional support with rigorous academic standards, the Cooperative Area Learning Program provides an essential alternative pathway for students seeking a unique approach to their secondary education.
