When was CPA founded? Calvary Prep has been providing excellence in Christian online education since 2009 when it was founded by Director, Jared Beck.
Are you accredited? Calvary Preparatory Academy is a private Christian online school that is fully accredited by the Western Association of Schools and Colleges (WASC) for grades 7-12. As one of the few regionally accredited online middle school and high schools, this accreditation is recognized across the United States as well as internationally. CPA is also a member of ACTS (Association of Christian Teachers & Schools).
Does CPA offer “a-g” and NCAA approved courses? Yes, CPA offers both UC “a-g” and NCAA approved courses. The “a-g” approved course list can be found here. NCAA approved course list can be found here.
What is CPA’s high school code for SAT, ACT, FAFSA and other college forms? Our high school code is: 054623. Our school’s legal name is “Calvary Online School” doing business as “Calvary Preparatory Academy.” We are located in San Marcos, CA (since 2017) and we were previously located in the adjacent city of Escondido (prior to 2017). If you can’t locate the school on the SAT, ACT, or College Board website under the current name or city, try searching for the older listing.
Does my student have to be in a specific geographical area in order to attend CPA? No. Calvary Prep offers education to students in all 50 states and internationally. All that is needed is an internet connection, and demonstrated proficiency in the English language.
How can I request my academic transcript? Transcripts can be requested on the following page: www.calvaryonlineschool.com/transcript
Will my credits from another school transfer to your curriculum? Credits will be accepted from transcripts earned at other educational institutions when an official transcript(s) has been received. Transfer credits are awarded on a case-by-case basis at the discretion of the school. Transcript analysis will sometimes require further research and contact with prior institutions to determine eligibility of transfer credits.
Will my credits from homeschool transfer to your curriculum? Calvary Preparatory Academy will accept credits only if the transcript credits are issued by a formal educational agency. That agency needs to have clearly defined course descriptions as well as an established grading scale. Students who completed previous years of schooling in a homeschool environment may still be accepted into CPA, however, only the credits issued or formally accepted by CPA will count towards high school graduation.
Do you offer graduates a U.S. diploma, allowing students to apply for any universities across the U.S.? Yes, our diploma is recognized across the United States, as well as internationally.
Can I enroll in CPA if I am from a different country? Yes, but we require grade-level proficiency in the English language, and perform an assessment during the enrollment process to verify proficiency prior to acceptance.
Will your program prepare my student for college? Yes. All of our courses are college preparatory courses and our program of study will readily prepare your student for entering the college or university of their choice, including the University of California system of schools.
I am a principal of a school and am interested in enrolling students part-time to supplement their education. Is that something CPA offers? Yes! Our heart for this school is to “stand in the gap” with your local school community whenever there is a need we can fill. We love to partner with schools (public and private), churches and homeschool co-ops to provide quality online education to your students. Contact us today for more information and pricing.
A DAY IN THE LIFE OF A CPA STUDENT
How does it work? Full-time students are assigned approximately four hours of school work per day, although some days may require either more or less time. Students have flexibility to arrange their schedules throughout the week, however, all full-time students must participate in their classes for at least one hour per required school day. Full-time students who do not meet these requirements will be marked absent.
Can I attend part-time? Yes! Calvary Preparatory Academy offers a myriad of part-time WASC accredited courses, as well as UC approved “a-g” and NCAA approved courses. Our high school course list can be found here. Our middle school course list can be found here.
