Welcome to the CAA
Our mission at the Center for Academic Achievement (CAA) is to provide high quality academic support to all Baltimore City Community College students. We are committed to preparing students to become independent learners who will succeed academically and achieve the skills necessary to compete in the collegiate setting.
The CAA encourages and promotes a culturally diverse and inclusive environment and helps to develop students' self esteem, confidence, and persistence.
All CAA Tutoring Centers offer a positive learning environment: a place to study, do homework assignments, receive assistance and support, meet with study groups, and attend study skills workshops and academic review sessions.

- Professional and peer tutors who can act as coaches to facilitate your learning
