CAAEL partners with each school’s instructional staff to deliver our programs, and utilizes their existing physical resources and transportation systems. This allows us to offer our services at extremely cost-effective rates, and enables us to impact the education of thousands of youth annually at minimal per student cost.
We are NOT an afterschool program. CAAEL programs are integrated directly into each partner school’s own curriculum and incentive system to become an essential component of the daily procedures and operations. Kids are extremely motivated to stay on target all week so that they can remain eligible to participate in the weekly CAAEL events during school hours.
Every CAAEL event has an emphasis on leadership and sportsmanship rather than winning. Throughout the school day and at CAAEL events, students learn how to interact positively with peers, show respect for authority figures, work as a team, demonstrate compassion and tolerance, win and lose gracefully, and make thoughtful decisions.
