Academic Support

Royal Time: CHCA Tutoring & Academic Mentoring - Royal Time is a dedicated academic support period offered every Monday and Wednesday specifically for CHCA students. If your student needs additional support or you'd like them to have access to academic mentoring, please connect with their counselor to get them enrolled.

CHCA also offers peer-to-peer academic mentoring led by upperclassmen, available during Royal Time and before school on Tuesdays and Thursdays.

PEAC — District Academic Support - The Santa Barbara Unified School District also offers additional academic resources through PEAC.

Support the Academy

Donate Online via the CHCA Webstore - HERE

Donate In Person - Checks can be made payable to SMHS Health Careers Academy and delivered to any CHCA teacher or CHCA leadership staff.

California law and SBUSD board policies require that donations used to fund school-related activities be truly voluntary. No student will be excluded from participating in any school-related activities because the student or their parents have not made a donation. Any suggested donation amount is also voluntary.

Amazon Storefront - Looking for an easy way to contribute? We have put together an Amazon Storefront with items that directly support our students and classroom programming. Items are updated throughout the year as new needs come up. Visit Our Amazon Storefront → HERE
