I really enjoy it; it really pushes you to manage your own time, and it really has helped me learn to be more accountable with my work, I would 100 percent recommend this school to anyone who wants to learn to be, like I said, accountable and learn how to manage you time in a responsible way

My son attended Calvary Preparatory Academy and had a great experience. We felt the academics were both challenging and well-balanced with the flexibility and support offered by the staff. He loved all the teachers he had the opportunity to get to know and work with. The teachers took a genuine interest not only in his academic growth, but also in his life and faith. This school provides an opportunity to build community, share faith, and grow in learning alongside students from around the world.

My son attended all 4 years of high school as well as 8th grade. After homeschooling my others, this was a breath of fresh air! The teachers were very supportive and yet I still had the benefits of having him at home for school. It freed me up for supporting him rather than teaching him. He graduated early and was more than prepared for college. The social connections he made with students all over the world were invaluable and he still connects with some of them now as an adult. He loved the clubs and the leadership team as well. All in all, I could not have asked for a better opportunity for him to grow up, and get a fantastic education.

I had a great experience at CPA. The staff and teachers were really nice and everyone (including students) were respectful. I wasnt pressured to get work done, they gave me room to do work at my own pace while still holding me accountable. The work was challenging but nothing that was overwhelming. They also have plenty of fun clubs and activities besides just school work. They also have bible and Jesus oriented classes (New testament, Old Testament, Church history classes, etc.) that were done well. Overall, great experience.

CPA has been such a blessing for our son for the last 2 years. He has been thriving in the independence for online learning and loves the responsibility of making his own schedule. His teacher Mrs. Cammarano is amazing. She is incredibly gifted to be able to teach and also connect with a 16 yr old boy ;)
Thank you CPA.

My experience at CPA has been positive. Every week you get assigned a certain amount of work that you can finish at your own pace. And the teachers will grade your work during meetings.

Hands-down, a fantastic school. I wish we knew it started in 6th grade because we would have started here earlier. The academics were challenging for my accelerated math student. His NWEA test results from the beginning of the school year until the end showed phenomenal growth. I had never seen him grow so much in one year as he did in his first year at Calvary. I had weekly communication with my son's teacher. His teacher, Dr. V was very intelligent and patient and we could tell he loves the Lord. He heard our concerns and offered suggestions. We live in Michigan but felt very close to the school. One reason was that my son actually talked to his teacher for an hour each week. That is more one-on-one attention than any brick & mortar school, I think. We emailed questions as needed and received answers within hours, sometimes sooner. Parents can call the school and talk to a person without getting a run-around. There are daily discussions posted to the students every day. This is another way the kids are pulled together. My son participated in online clubs. The clubs are through Teams and everyone communicated in the clubs. He was in a cooking club, where the kids actually cooked together every week. That was great! He was also in a chess club and a screenwriter's club. There were regular online Prayer Warrior meetings for the parents to interact with, and some seminars that brought the parents together. We received frequent communication from the school about upcoming events to participate in. For an online school, you feel very connected and it doesn't seem like online. If you're able to find the end-of-the-year Talent Show video, it's one hour but completely entertaining! I love the one towards the end with the smashing pumpkins!

CPA is the perfect school for parents and their children who are looking for an accredited, private, and biblically based school with the flexibility of homeschooling. Our children flourished at CPA because the childs teacher will work with the child individually and the child also has opportunities throughout the week to ask the teacher for help during office hours. This school was truly an answer to prayer.

We love CPA and are so thankful to have found them! Weve been with them for 3 school years (going on 4) and have recommended them to dozens of our friends and family members. My children have received more one on one time with their teachers at CPA then was ever possible at their brick and mortar school. They genuinely care for their students and seek to help them achieve their best. We are thankful for the extra classroom hours and pop in or scheduled tutoring available every day of the week. Thank you CPA!

Dear parent, do you want to see the difference in your child's education?
Do you want him to be happy from the morning to the end of the day?
Do you need him to be creative, able to communicate his ideas and collaborate with others, be a motivated self-directed learner, with expectations that promote growth realizing his full potential so that he may have the best chance at being successful with good mental health giving him the ability to manipulate software in an inventive way and become proficient technology user in a safe Christian community.
Remember, the important gift you can give to your child is the gift of choice and being able to be creative, understand values and purposes, and achieve a modern education by getting learning that is much deeper and more authentic with room for passion and interest.
Quality education is the answer.
It doesn't matter where you are living or what pace of learning you have.
CALVARY PREPARATORY ACADEMY is the ANSWER, get in touch and you will testify how your experience will look to the end.
Thanks
Kalangwa (Parent)

We've been greatly blessed since joining the CPA family. My daughter attends CPA virtually from Kailua, Hawai'i. The staff and faculty are very helpful, patient, and knowledgable. They really support and encourage the students to always do their best with their studies and growing in their walk with Christ. They go beyond to make sure they do. My daughter's attitude towards school has changed 100% and I couldn't be happier. Her walk with Christ has grown as well and that's always a joy to witness. She's been able to maintain all A's throughout her freshman year. In addition, her love and understanding of math has changed 100%. She is setting goals to graduate early as she wants to start "adulting" sooner than later. They have many clubs and activities throughout the year to satisfy everyones likes. It's been exciting to see what they come up with. We are so grateful to God and CPA for this opportunity. We look forward to the future, Lord willing. Mahalo a nui.

This is our first year at this school. WE LOVE IT!! It is great to know that our son's teachers share our values and genuinely care for their students. The opportunities for the students to interact with other students was key in choosing an online school for our son and CPA didn't disappoint. We are looking forward to our son's next 3 years.

This is a really warm and caring place. At this school you get to meet with a teacher on a live video feed. All of the staff and administration are committed to the students and you can tell the staff like each other too. It is a place that fosters community.

My daughter does so much better in an environment where she can read out loud to herself. Her retention is 100% better than in a classroom. Online is the way to go for her and this school is amazingly flexible and willing to do whatever it takes to help your child succeed. They love the Lord and it shows!
