Mission

Breakthrough’s CLA East is located at its Citizens East K-8 Campus. We prepare our middle schoolers to lead in academics, service, and civic engagement during high school, college, and beyond. Our distinct EL Education – real-world learning – model is perfect for middle school because it engages students in hands-on, active, project-based learning culminating in a capstone project. CLA East is a proud Facing History and Ourselves school. We have a phrase at our school that drives everything we do: “Education is Urgent.” We welcome parent visits.

Special Programs

What makes us special:
CLA East believes in supporting the “whole child” and offers after-school clubs and
athletics including football, soccer, volleyball, and basketball for both boys and girls.
CLA East provides after-school tutoring and enrichment, and has a community
partnership with the Doan Avenue Salvation Army that has a robust after school
program including academic support and recreational activities. CLA East is
cultivating an active parent organization and started its first year with 100% parent
participation in student-led conferences.

CLAE has everything that I would look for in a Middle School. They not only have a secure, safe environment but the parent teacher communication is terrific. The role of leadership that the teachers encourage to students to show was very visible during conference. I think CLAE is doing a wonderful job so far.

Me any my kids really love this school, the teachers and the principal. They really interact with the kids and they are in a safe environment. It was a great idea placing CLAE on top of CAE.

For the first year everyone is so dedicated to helping my daughter achieve her goals and to insure that she stays focus even when she hit low points. I just love how encouraging everyone is.

I like the school. I just feel like there should be more after school activities (cheer-leading, basketball, etc.)
