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.

My son just finished 2 years of middle school in CCA. We love this school! All the teachers he's had have been wonderful and very helpful. Classes are engaging. All classes are taped which makes asynchronous learning a breeze. Edio is well organized and very user friendly, even for parents. They do a great job organizing field trips so students can socialize. I have two other children that went to two other cyber schools. CCA has been the best out of the three by far! They keep parents involved and informed. The #1 cyber high school on Niche never did that, even when my child was having issues I should have been notified of. The other cyber school's set up was just not very user friendly and did not have most classes recorded. I would give CCA 10 stars if I could because our experience with them has been so positive. I was very glad to see that they promote critical thinking and don't push personal ideologies, which other schools have done. All cyber schools should be set up like CCA.
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've been a student at Commonwealth Charter Academy since the first grade, and I have enjoyed every moment of it. CCA does not focus on merely teaching the students, rather it aims to encourage growth and learning. It encourages students to be active members of their community, helping to form leaders. The teachers are kind, caring, and always willing to help; they build personal relationships to help each student succeed. The broad range of courses provided gives students the opportunity to reach their full potential, whether you need a class tailored to your needs, or an advanced course to challenge their minds and push them to new limits. The flexible schedule provides the opportunity to partake in leadership, and take advantage of activities that occur during standard school hours. CCA is a family that has made me a better student, and a better person.
