California Academy (CAL)

California Academy (CAL) is an international school registered with the Security and Exchange Commission (SEC) and recognized by the Department of Education (DepEd) Philippines. It offers educational services for students ranging from Toddlers through Grade 12. The school operates multiple campuses located in Antipolo City, Rizal; Nueva Vizcaya; and Cavite. CAL's board comprises both Filipino and American citizens who maintain high expectations for the organization, guided by the motto 'EXCELLENCE, PRIDE & OWNERSHIP.' The curriculum blends DepEd Philippines standards with California state standards from the United States, designed to prepare students for higher education in the Philippines and abroad, as well as for global job markets and entrepreneurial endeavors. CAL is currently undergoing a review process to potentially become a candidate school with the Accrediting Commission for Schools (ACS) of the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC), a U.S. regional accrediting body. The school also mentions a homeschool program under 'California Academy For Lilminius.'
