School Overview

**Santa Clara Community Day School** is a specialized alternative education program within the Santa Clara Unified School District. Located on Brookdale Drive, the school is designed to serve students in grades 7 through 12 who require a more structured, supportive, and individualized learning environment than what is typically provided in a traditional comprehensive high school. The program focuses on helping students overcome behavioral or academic challenges by offering a smaller classroom setting, consistent supervision, and a curriculum tailored to get students back on track for graduation.

The primary mission of the school is to provide a safe and focused setting where students can earn credits while developing the personal and academic skills necessary for long-term success. By maintaining close communication with families and district partners, Santa Clara Community Day emphasizes behavioral modification, academic remediation, and social-emotional growth. The goal is to prepare students for a successful transition back to their home campus or to assist them in meeting the requirements for a high school diploma in a supportive, closely-monitored atmosphere.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
