CALA is a community group that works with Cambridge Public Schools toward the identification and support of high-potential learners throughout the district.
All parents are welcome.
CALA was founded in November, 2011 by a group of parents concerned at the Cambridge Public Schools’ then lack of any formal policy or program for students in need of advanced learning. Since CALA’s founding, parent members have continued working with district administrators and teachers to develop specific, evidence-based policies and services for students of all ages in need of advanced learning in Cambridge.

New CPS Advanced Learning Policy
In April 2025, after years of advocacy by families, the Cambridge School Committee adopted a new Advanced Learning policy (#25-078). This policy commits to the identification and support of advanced learners in CPS starting in the 2025-26 school year.
​
CALA continues to partner with CPS to implement these changes and to advocate for equitable access to advanced learning opportunities.
