Attendance Records

Calvary Preparatory Academy will only maintain daily attendance records for full-time* students. Students taking single courses or attending only part-time* will not be counted in the school’s attendance records. The responsibility for student attendance compliance with local/state laws will lie solely with the parent/guardian(s) of the student and not with Calvary Preparatory Academy.

In addition, the great variance in attendance laws from state to state and out of state necessitate that Calvary Preparatory Academy will not be responsible for ensuring compliance with local/state attendance laws for full-time and/or part-time students. By enrolling in Calvary Preparatory Academy, the student is enrolling in a California private school. The responsibility of compliance with local/state attendance laws lies solely with the parent/guardian(s).

* Please see definitions below

Back to the Top


Attendance Policy

Calvary Preparatory Academy requires all full-time students to work in their courses on each required school day. Please refer to the school calendar for required school days and notify your teacher if you need any days off that aren’t a scheduled holiday. Any unexcused or excused absence must be accounted for.

Full-time students are assigned approximately four to five 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.

Student absences will be tracked according to the school’s excessive absence and truancy policy. A full-time student will be identified as excessively absent if the student does not log instructional time for more than 10 consecutive days. If a student is identified as excessively absent the student may be withdrawn from the school.

Back to the Top


Illness/Extended Inability to Participate

If an unexpected situation should arise and there is an extended leave of three days or more needed from courses, students must follow these steps:

Determine if Internet access is available (through libraries, etc.)

Contact teachers to explain the situation and to discuss class alternatives with the teacher.

Back to the Top


Final Exams

Students will take final exams at the end of both fall and spring semesters. There will not be excused absences allowed for these exams. In order to protect test confidentiality all exams will need to be taken on assigned days.

Back to the Top


Vacation Policy

Students are expected to attend at least 90% of the possible instructional hours for the school year AND must not miss school for 10 consecutive school days. If a family needs to plan a vacation, this vacation must not last more than 10 consecutive days. Assignments that are completed late due to a family-scheduled vacation during school are subject to the late work policy.

Back to the Top


Grade Determination

Calvary Preparatory Academy grades are determined by the sum total of points a student earns on all grade assignments and tests.

Points earned by student/Total points possible=Grade

Example: A student earns 563/700 points possible. 563/700 = 80%

Back to the Top


School-wide Grading Policy

Please be aware of the school-wide grading policy here at Calvary Preparatory Academy. Please also note that completing the minimum requirements merits only a “C” average grade. Students desiring “A’s” and “B’s” should strive to always go above and beyond the bare minimum requirements when completing their assignments.

Grading

  • A: Outstanding achievement, far above average, extra effort, well organized and clearly labeled, demonstrating understanding and mastery of subject matter. 90-100% accuracy. (A+ = 99-100%, A = 91-98%, A- = 90%)
  • B: Good effort, above average, demonstrates familiarity with subject matter and 80-89% accuracy. (B+ = 89%, B = 81-88%, B- = 80%)
  • C: Average, met minimum requirements, demonstrates adequate knowledge of subject matter with 70-79% accuracy. (C+ = 79%, C = 71-78%, C- = 70%)
  • D: Below average, less than the minimum requirements, work reflects little effort, assignments incomplete and some missing, work is turned in late, punctuality is a problem, 60-69% accuracy. (D+ = 69%, D = 61-68%, D- = 60%)
  • F: Failing, work is far below the requirements, reflects little or no effort, assignments incomplete or missing, demonstrates very little if no understanding of subject matter, attendance and punctuality is an issue, below 60% accuracy. (F = 0-59%)

How to Calculate Your GPA (Grade Point Average)

Your grade point average (GPA) is calculated by dividing the total amount of grade points earned by the total amount of credit hours attempted. Your grade point average may range from 0.0 to a 4.0.

For example:

A = 4.00 grade points
A- = 3.70 grade points

B+ = 3.33 grade points

B = 3.00 grade points

B- = 2.70 grade points

C+ = 2.30 grade points

C = 2.00 grade points

C- = 1.70 grade points

D+ = 1.30 grade points

D = 1.00 grade points

D- = 0.70 grade points

WF/F=0 grade points

P/NP (Pass/No Pass) courses are not factored in the student’s GPA

I (Incompletes) and W (Withdrawals) do not receive grade points and do not have an effect on the GPA

Assessments

Students are assessed in completion of the following activities:

  • Written Practices
  • Threaded Discussions
  • Web Explorations
  • Labs
  • Journal Entries
  • Worksheets

High School Graduation Requirements

Graduation requirements for CPA include 220 credits earned during the 9th through 12th grades. Five credits are issued for the successful completion of one semester (1/2 school year) of a course. Specific courses may be required within each department. Students who complete the graduation requirements will be awarded a high school diploma. Students who meet the graduation requirements a semester early are required to attend a college, vocational, Bible school, or other continuing education program in the spring semester leading up to the graduation ceremony, or to take an additional four elective credits in the spring semester. One year of high school level math and one year of high school level foreign language can be applied to high school graduation requirements, pending transcript verification.

  • English- 40 credits
  • Mathematics- 30 credits (Including Algebra)
  • Science- 20 credits (Including Biology)
  • Social Science- 30 credits
  • Bible- 15 credits
  • Physical Education- 10 credits
  • Foreign Language- 10 credits
  • Health- 5 credits
  • Fine Arts- 10 credits
  • Electives- 50 credits (Including College & Career Prep I and II)
  • Total: 220 Credits

Back to the Top

Acceptance of Credits Issued Outside of CPA

Credits will be accepted from transcripts earned at other institutions when an official transcript(s) has been received. Transfer credits are awarded on a case-by-case basis. Transcript analysis will sometimes require further research and contact with prior institutions to determine eligibility of transfer credits.

Back to the Top

Acceptance of Homeschool Credits

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 graduation).

Back to the Top

Change in Classes: Adding or Dropping

Adding a class: Courses may be added during the first ten (10) school days of the semester. It is

the student’s responsibility to makeup any missed work if transferring into a course late.

Dropping a class: Class drops are discouraged unless absolutely necessary. Changes can be made within the 20-day add/drop period and will not appear on student’s report card and academic transcript.

REMEMBER: In order for the class to NOT show up on the student’s transcript, the drop must be made in the first 20 days of the semester or the W will appear on the transcript.

The Frequency and Nature of Student/Teacher Meetings

Students of Calvary Preparatory Academy have the wonderful resource of meeting with a teacher specially assigned to them to review their progress and grade their work. For full-time students, these meetings occur once a week, at set times each week, and usually last about an hour. The duration and frequency of meetings for part-time students will vary with enrollment. Please contact your teacher for this information.

Parents are encouraged to join these meetings and can do so by sitting beside the student during the meeting, or by joining from another computer. This allows parents who are at remote locations (i.e. work, traveling) to join the meetings and review the student’s progress. In preparation for these meetings, please keep in mind:

  • Calvary Preparatory Academy is hosted in California and uses Pacific Standard Time (PST). You may need to make a mental conversion when discussing times with your teacher. A time zone converter may also be useful.
  • Meeting times should ideally be when a parent can join or be available, whether from home or from a remote location.

How and When Work is Due

While students may have assignments scheduled for them on a daily basis, the true due date for all work is at the weekly appointment. At that time, all work prior to, but not including, the day of the appointment is due.

If a student meets with his/her teacher Tuesday at 10:00 a.m. then all work scheduled from Tuesday of the prior week through Monday before the appointment is due.

Back to the Top


Late Work Policy

All assignments are due at the beginning of the appointment, regardless of whether the appointment is missed or rescheduled. Teacher graded assignments that are not completed at the time of the appointment will be entered as zeroes. Those grades can be updated if work is completed according to the following late work policy:

  • Work that is completed during or after the appointment, but within the same day will be marked down 5%.
  • Work that is turned in after the appointment day will be marked down 10% each school day.
  • Finally, work that is not turned in after two school days will not be accepted for credit.

Example: Work due on Tuesday but turned in:

  • later the same Tuesday = 5% off
  • the next day, Wednesday = 10% off
  • two days late, Thursday = 20% off
  • more than two days late, Friday or later = No credit

Academic Integrity

Calvary Prep students are expected to be persons of moral integrity, modeled after the examples set by Jesus and the teachings of the Bible. Included in that assumption is the expectation that CPA students maintain academic integrity at all times. All assignments are assumed to be the student’s original work. Therefore, if the student utilizes any materials that are not his or her original thoughts, the student must properly cite the sources used. A student who fails to abide by these standards will be subject to the following actions:

Consequences

First offense – The student will receive a verbal warning from the teacher. The student will not receive credit for the plagiarized assignment. The student will be given the opportunity to complete the assignment again but for a possible 50% of the original points. The teacher will notify the parent/guardian of the plagiarism activity.

Second offense – The student and parent will attend a conference with the school Director. The student will not receive credit for the assignment, nor will be able to attempt the assignment again for credit.

Third offense – The student will be subjected to disciplinary action by the Director, up to and including expulsion.

Back to the Top

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is a form of academic dishonesty. CPA defines plagiarism as the use of materials, language, ideas or expressed thoughts from another source without proper citation. The fundamental consideration in plagiarism is ownership. In order to avoid plagiarism, consider who owns the materials.

  • If you own the materials, thoughts, or ideas then you have no need to cite a source.
  • If the materials, thoughts, or ideas are common knowledge, owned by the public, then you have no need to cite a source.
  • If the materials, thoughts, or ideas belong to anyone else, whether in print, on a website, drawn from conversation, etc. then a source must be cited.

Back to the Top

Dismissal Policy

Calvary Preparatory Academy recognizes that enrollment is voluntary by both parties: the student/guardian and the school. Both students and guardians agree to the roles and responsibilities in the Enrollment Agreement which they signed upon enrollment. Should there be any occurrence or combination of occurrences of a violation of these roles and responsibilities, the following procedure will govern the disciplinary actions, ultimately leading in consideration for dismissal.

  • First violation where role and responsibilities are not met results in a verbal warning.
  • Second violation results in student being placed on academic probation.
  • Third violation or failure to meet the terms of academic probation may result in student being disenrolled from the school at the discretion of the Director. It is within the discretion of the Director to place additional requirements as terms of continued enrollment, such as, but not limited to: requiring a private tutor at the expense of the parent/guardian.

Back to the Top

Report Cards

Fall semester report cards are issued in January, and spring semester report cards are issued in June.

Back to the Top

Student Records

Student records are maintained at the Calvary Preparatory Academy office. Please contact CPA to obtain a copy of student records. A copying fee may be assessed. If families change their address, telephone, or place of employment, they must immediately notify their teacher of any changes. Parent/guardians are responsible for keeping contact information current.

Back to the Top

Non-Payment of Tuition Policy

Due to California law regarding the release of student records, the school must forbid students whose tuition has not been paid from receiving a final evaluation of their coursework. Final evaluation of coursework and entering of final grades and credits will not be performed by the school until tuition is paid in full. Records requested prior to payment of tuition, regardless of the expiration of the academic term, will reflect incomplete grades.

Back to the Top

Appeal of Final Semester Grades and Awarding of Credit

Students and parents may appeal a student’s final grade or the school’s decision to award credit for a course up to 30 days after the end of a semester. Appeals will not be considered later than 30 days after the end of a semester.

Back to the Top

Complaint Response Procedure

Calvary Preparatory Academy is dedicated to establishing student/family satisfaction. The following procedure is in place to ensure that designated employees address student/family grievances in a timely manner.

The student and parent(s), custodian(s) or legal guardian(s), must address in writing any concern or grievance to the program director. The program director shall respond within ten (10) working days.

If the concern or grievance is not resolved by the program director, the parent(s), custodian(s) or legal guardian(s) may, within ten (10) working days of the program director’s response, request in writing a meeting (via phone or through a virtual appointment) with the program director to discuss the concern or grievance. He/she shall investigate and respond within ten (10) working days.

If the family’s concern is not resolved at the meeting with the program director, the family may file a complaint with the Calvary Preparatory Academy governing body. The CPA governing body may address the complaint directly.

Back to the Top

Student Daily Schedule

While students do have the freedom of being flexible when they complete their assignments, it is strongly recommended that a fixed schedule be arranged. Take a moment to talk over a daily schedule with your parent/guardian. Sticking to a schedule will greatly increase your performance and will free up more time for other activities.

Back to the Top

Student Daily Life: Free Time

A program like Calvary Preparatory Academy allows for significantly more free time that is normally lost to bell schedules, role call, travel to and from school, etc. Because of this, Calvary Preparatory Academy students may find they have more free time each day. We strongly encourage students to take this time and engage in parent/guardian approved social activities. This might include a club, sports team, community service outlet, youth group, church activities, etc.

What is not desirable is for students to spend the entire day exclusively working on the computer. On the contrary, an efficient management of time will enable students to be considerably engaged in daily social activities.

Back to the Top

Student Responsibility

Calvary Preparatory Academy students are provided with ample opportunities, resources and instructional staff to succeed in this program. However, students still bear the weight of personally committing to their own academic success. Calvary Preparatory Academy students are responsible for the following:

  • Daily engaging in assigned academic studies (Daily engagement equates to attendance which is both mandatory and actively monitored).
  • Completing all assigned tasks.
  • Independently maintaining a successful studying environment.
  • Asking for help when needed.
  • Regularly communicating with assigned teacher(s) including a minimum of two forms of communication per week.
  • Daily checking email correspondence and replying to all forms of communication in no less than 24 hours.
  • Keeping parents/guardians informed of progress, grades, and communication from the assigned teacher(s).
  • Following School rules and policies.
  • Upholding a strong moral ethic with regard to academic honesty; especially in regard to cheating or plagiarism.

School Culture

As part of our mission to deliver Christian education, we desire that all students be actively involved in one or all of the school activities below.

1. Enrollment in Bible Classes

Although only three Bible classes are formally required for graduation, we encourage Calvary Preparatory Academy students to continuously enroll in Bible courses, earning credits toward the Electives department. More about our Bible courses can be found on the school’s website.

2. Participation in the Daily Bible Reading Forum

As a requirement for all full-time students, the Daily Bible Reading forum gives an opportunity for students to read and respond to a daily passage of scripture or devotion. Students post their replies in a forum, along with other students and staff, and then have an opportunity to engage in further discussion. Part-time students are strongly encouraged to participate in the Daily Bible Reading Forum as well.

Some Helpful Tips for Students

The following tips will help to guarantee that students are successful in an online learning environment.

  • Work Environment: Students are encouraged to select and designate a workplace that is free from distraction and is a productive work environment. Depending on the student, this may be a computer room, student’s bedroom, living room, a coffee house, library, etc.
  • Schoolwork Hours: Although students are given the flexibility to determine their own work hours, it is strongly recommended that students designate select hours from the day that are solely dedicated for studying. This could be a 3 hour block of time in the morning, followed by a 2 hour block in the afternoon, or evening, for example. It is also suggested that students select work hours in which they know their teachers are available for questions or feedback.
  • Note-taking: Almost all online courses offered through Calvary Preparatory Academy have optional note-taking worksheets attached to the online lessons. Students consistently show higher rates of performance when these study sheets are completed in addition to their readings and activities. Depending on student preference, these can either be printed and then completed on paper, or electronically completed in order to save materials.
  • Parental Involvement: Perhaps one of the most important tips for success in an online schooling environment is parental involvement. This involvement is a great strength to students working independently in an online school. The majority of online courses offered through Calvary Preparatory Academy offer complete transparency regarding student performance. Parents can check students’ grades and schedules on a 24 hour basis. It is strongly recommended that both the student and parent work out a time each day when work assigned and work completed can be discussed.
  • Ask Questions: Students, you are not on your own. If you need help with an assignment, ask your teacher and they will address your request via email or a live, virtual meeting.
  • Check your email daily: In an online learning environment, students aren’t required to show up to a building each day at 8:00 am. However, students are responsible to maintain consistent contact with the school and their instructors. Regularly checking for new emails will ensure that students are fully informed of any recent updates or responses from their teachers. A turn around period of 24 hours is suggested for all forms of communication. If an instructor emails a student, a response is expected within 24 hours and vice versa.

Email Etiquette

Email is a common means of communication in Calvary Preparatory Academy. Because of this, Calvary Preparatory Academy holds its staff and students to the following 10 Commandments of Email.

(Please note that these include references to actual Bible verses, which are meant to serve as inspiration for godly behavior when emailing. These verses have been modified to include references to email as necessary. All modifications have been indicated in bold and italics. In addition the original verse is provided as a hyperlinked referenced.)

The Ten Commandments of Email:

  1. Love the Lord Thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind, and with all thy strength, and with all thy email. (All we do, including emails, should be done in love towards God). Reference
  2. Thou shalt email thy neighbor as thyself. Also known as “Email unto others as you’d have them email unto you.” (No one wants to receive a rude or unclear email, so why send one to others?) Reference 1, 2
  3. Be kind and compassionate when emailing to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you. (When emailing, be courteous, just as you would when talking to an influential person. If you receive an email that comes across strongly worded, choose to interpret it two degrees more friendly than your initial response)Reference
  4. If you keep on biting and devouring each other, watch out or you will be destroyed by each other’s emails. Reference and “for all who draw the email will die by the email.” (It’s never good to escalate a conflict, or start a “flame war” with emails. Pick up the phone and call instead, para-language can help deflate conflict)Reference
  5. For there is nothing hidden in an email that will not be disclosed, and nothing concealed in an email that will not be known or brought out into the open. (There’s no such thing as a private email. Only write what you would want shouted from the rooftops)Reference
  6. Then Jesus ordered him, “Don’t tell anyone” when considering whether to forward the chain email to a group. (Chain emails and forwarding emails can be obnoxious, avoid so doing as much as possible. When emailing groups, don’t put multiple email addresses in the “To:” field, use the “BCC:” field instead) Reference
  7. Whatever you email, work at it with all your heart, as emailing for the Lord, not for men” Reference
  8. Nor should there be obscenity, foolish talk or coarse joking in your emails, which are out of place, but rather thanksgiving. (Jokes are rarely understood in emails, keep it simple and professional)Reference
  9. He said quite openly and straightforwardly in his email subject line, “I am not the Christ.” (Using subject lines helps to clarify your meaning and guarantee your audience understands the correct communication)Reference
  10. Pilate answered, “What I have written, I have written.” (In a sense, once you’ve sent an email, “It is written.” Only write something you stand by in every situation)Reference
