      Our daughter started when she was 1st grade and is now a Sophomore. We love it! The curriculum is a year or two ahead of our local district, teachers and staff are very supportive, we love the flexibility, and there's amazing field trip opportunities. CCA also has mobile classrooms, one of which is a mini aquaponics lab! And when we visit the main campus in Harrisburg we can experience the 2nd largest aquaponics lab in the country (only 2nd to Disney's Epcot). My daughter loves her courses and the electives offered. CCA is a fantastic school, we highly recommend it!

      Amazing! The platform is easy for kids and parents to navigate. The school works around your schedule, tech issues. They can handle IEPs, 504s,gifted. Parents can check their kids progress from anywhere. Offers extracurriculars, like languages, in elementary school. Teachers are phenomenal! I enrolled my kids to avoid the inconsistencies the pandemic caused B&M schools...I don't want to switch back. Both of my kids are getting more from their education now. They provide all materials, even for art, gym, science. They have their own tech support team! Yes, parents are more involved, but instead of looking at my kids homework, not understanding common core, i can look at the lesson, and find where my child is confused. I can't recommend it enough!
      I absolutely love CCA, I'm currently a senior and they have set me up for success! The teachers are super helpful and care for their students. There are many clubs and organizations to join and everyone is so welcoming and nice.
