If traditional school environments are causing anxiety, stress, or emotional burnout, you're not alone—and you don't have to choose between wellness and education.

At CMASAS, we believe that mental health is just as important as academic success. Our mission is to launch confident, caring leaders and life-long learners who are supported every step of the way.

Why Choose CMASAS
Flexible Scheduling Without Pressure

No bells. No rigid timelines. Students learn when they’re feeling their best—early mornings, evenings, or just a few days a week. Our self-paced model adapts to their energy, focus, and emotional readiness.

Asynchronous & Mastery-Based Learning

Students never have to log in at a set time. They work at their own speed, with opportunities to revise and retry—focusing on deep understanding, not perfection or pace.

Personalized Education Plans (PEPs) and Standard Diploma Option

Each full-time student receives a custom learning plan built around their strengths, preferences, and support needs. Our team works with families to ensure each learner feels understood, encouraged, and empowered. Our Standard Diploma option allows students to meet all graduation requirements while developing essential executive function skills, preparing them for success in everyday life, and future work, even if they choose not to purse college right away.

Personalized Support from Caring Educators

Each student is paired with a Personalized Education Coach (PEC) who offers consistent, empathetic guidance. Our educators build trust, not pressure, helping students thrive with gentle accountability and heartfelt encouragement.

A Safe Space to Heal, Learn, and Grow

Without bullying, overstimulation, or comparison, CMASAS becomes a nurturing sanctuary—where students can feel safe, supported, and academically engaged while prioritizing their well-being

Collaboration with Therapists or Support Plans

We work with families and professionals to honor mental health goals alongside IEPs, 504s, or therapeutic recommendations—adapting the learning journey to fit each student’s needs.

Year-Round Rolling Enrollment

You do not need to wait to get support and transition. We can transition your student at any time during the school year.
