CASA Mission Statement 

The Center for Advanced Studies and the Arts will provide an enriched learning environment for academically and artistically talented students.

The CASA Experience

CASA is one of a kind! The concept, the courses and the diversity make the CASA experience truly exceptional!

CASA is a six-school consortium. Students from Berkley, Clawson, Ferndale, Lamphere, Madison, and Oak Park High Schools attend CASA in the afternoon.

CASA courses are both challenging and rewarding. Students elect to take two 55-minute courses designed to engage students in higher levels of thinking. Please see the Courses link for course times.

CASA currently offers 15 Advanced Placement courses. Students intending to pursue post-secondary education are encouraged to participate. Students taking Advanced Placement exams may earn college credit upon successful completion of the exam.

Advanced courses include two world languages, philosophy, interpretive literature, world history, and genetics, just to name a few.

Fine Arts courses, such as dance and art, allow students to expand their talents. Students are able to engage in competition, both local and regional, for possible scholarships. A complete listing and description of the 2011-2012 courses offered at CASA can be found here.

You can download a copy of the 2011-2012 Letter to CASA Parents and Students here.

Additionally, you can find an up-to-date calendar here.
