School Overview

Rowland Unified Community Day School (CDS) is a specialized alternative education program located in Rowland Heights, California. Serving students who have been referred from the broader Rowland Unified School District, the school provides a highly structured and supportive environment for those who may have struggled in traditional campus settings. The program is designed to offer a smaller, more intimate academic experience where students can focus on credit recovery, behavioral improvement, and personal growth while adhering to the district’s academic standards.

The school emphasizes a holistic approach to education, focusing not only on core academics but also on social-emotional learning and accountability. By maintaining smaller class sizes and lower student-to-teacher ratios, Rowland Unified Community Day is able to provide individualized attention that helps students get back on track toward graduation or transition successfully back to their comprehensive home schools. Through this intentional setting, the staff works to foster a culture of resilience and academic achievement for students navigating unique educational challenges.
