Since 1976, the Chicago Area Alternative Education League (CAAEL) has enabled alternative schools to provide high-quality extracurricular athletic and academic programming to a wide range of students of different ages, abilities, challenges, and backgrounds.
This important programming:
Gives at-risk/special education students at alternative schools the opportunity to practice working in teams and cooperating with others, while motivating students to attend school and actively participate in their classwork
Provides alternative school educators with innovative and therapeutic programming that teaches the skills to be both successful students and productive citizens
