Caliber Public Schools
Our mission at Caliber Public Schools is to shift the experiences, expectations, and outcomes for students in historically oppressed communities. We provide students with a challenging and engaging education that equips them with the knowledge and skills needed to succeed in college, career, and community. Caliber’s four graduate pillars--Heart, Smart, Think, Act--guide our work. Caliber graduates will be academically college ready; have emotional intelligence or ‘EQ’; be critical thinkers, and have the skills and desire to be changemakers in their communities and the world. We are a community-based organization and celebrate the diversity of the communities we serve. Our parents are active partners; frequently engaging through school events, restorative practices, and academic support.
