COVID-19 Update for Prospective Students and Families:
CCA also recognizes that COVID-19 is affecting communities and families in very serious ways (closed businesses, job loss, additional family members at home during the day, illness); therefore, we will adjust posted schoolwork to accommodate students and families while still providing meaningful instruction.

Teachers and staff are always checking up on you to make sure you stay on track, but don't worry, they are not invasive or overbearing. The school system is simple and straightforward rewarding students for active participation in live, high-quality class sessions. In addition, students can do lessons on their own time without a constant stress or pressure to perform above their own level. There are also hundreds of different extra-curricular activities and clubs to choose from should you be interested. I am currently enrolled and have never felt more ready for college after taking their prep course, it's a great choice for any student as long as they are willing to see themselves succeed!
I enrolled in this school halfway through 5th grade. I was nervous and scared that I would be faced with so much starting in the middle of the year, but I wasn't. My teachers welcomed me with open arms into their class, my classmates were friendly and I was fitting in in no time. Cyber school was a new thing I had to get used to, and once I did I was able to see how well I was learning and getting engaged in my education. Now as I look towards my 7th and final year at CCA, I can say with full honesty that it has prepared me for college and for life. CCA makes learning fun and interactive! I am a visual learner and I haven't had any problems understanding my courses (or if I did the amazing teachers are there to help me whenever I need it).
This school was the best thing for my education, and I am so thankful and blessed to get to graduate from CCA in June.

I think it's important to say that this school is what you make of it. If you put in a lot of effort, you'll learn a lot, but if you take it being an online school as an opportunity to be lazy you won't gain much. The teachers and administration are great! Plus, I am always being informed about internships and competitions, and you can still take dual enrollment and AP classes. There are a lot of clubs, (most meet virtually) but especially towards the end of the year attendance can lag. Usually there are also field trip opportunities, which are a great way to meet other families. I will say, if you want a lot of social time, this school won't be a great fit for you--it can be hard to meet people.
