The SPARK Program centers student-driven goals, and provides students with an increased opportunity for growth where students support one another in English Language Arts (ELA), History, & Science courses.

SPARK classes are made up of general education students and those who are GATE identified and/or have IEP’s, capturing the true diversity of the Cal student body. All students are welcome to be part of the SPARK Program.
