Today the school continues to provide programs and instructional opportunities unique to this age group. Rich in its diversity of population, Cameron offers the opportunity for children from different nationalities, ethnic backgrounds, race and socioeconomic status to come together and learn from each other.
Cameron's program is designed to allow adolescents the opportunity to explore and have a variety of experiences.
