School Overview

The CALC (Centennial Area Learning Center) Transition program, located in Circle Pines, Minnesota, is a specialized educational facility operating under the Centennial School District (ISD 12). Designed to support students who may benefit from an alternative academic environment, the program focuses on providing a personalized path toward graduation.
