PARENT TESTIMONIALS
“We are very thankful for Calvary Preparatory Academy. It has been a blessing for our family. Specifically, a few years ago our family moved from Ohio to Tennessee with our two daughters. It was quite a transition for our children with many issues getting adjusted. Our youngest daughter actually could not handle the social issues involved in coming into a new high school as the students in the public school were not as welcoming as we had hoped. At that point, we began to look for an online school for home schooling purposes. We looked extensively and preferred a Christian school. We were drawn to Calvary Preparatory Academy and were made to feel welcome and comfortable partially through the efforts of Mr. Jared Beck and others, but it turned out to be a godsend. Our daughter has thrived and is very happy and successful. She has made friends with the teachers and her fellow classmates. She plans to continue on to college in the near future. I don’t know what we would have done without CPA. We will be forever grateful.”
Thank You and God Bless You,
From Jim Wilburn, A very happy and blessed parent.

“Calvary Preparatory Academy partners with families to empower our children to become successful adults. This educational opportunity has enhanced our child’s ability to become a talented individual and has given him an appreciation of life-long learning. The faculty and staff at CPA sincerely care about the proper development of the students. They inspire the students to grow spiritually and they challenge the students to submit their best effort toward their academic achievements. The diverse student body creates an atmosphere for the students to realize the advantages of cooperation and collaboration. Our partnership with Calvary Preparatory Academy has totally fulfilled our expectations for a quality educational experience. We consider it a privilege to work together with CPA and we are grateful to receive the benefits of this excellent ministry.”

“As missionaries here in Tijuana, Mexico our options for a Christ centered accredited high school were limited. We were touched by Jared’s heart to see this school serve missionary families by offering the school at a discounted rate for those families serving in the field.”

“My son started Calvary Preparatory Academy two years ago, as a sophomore. During his first year, he completely walked away from the Lord. What I knew to be my ‘solid’ son was no longer true. We even considered military school. He was into some very bad things. The only thing he did do during that time was to keep up on his school, but we were very stressed and worried about his spiritually dark condition. He told his teachers and classmates he was not a believer and stoutly defended his rebellious views-they loved him anyway. I had the opportunity to speak to his teacher, and found she was praying for him daily and also had intercessors praying and fasting for him as well. During one particularly intense week right before his break through is when I found out that several teachers had been burdened to pray and fast for my son. I believe it was in a large part, through those prayers, as well as the Holy Spirit, he finally had a true conversion and immediate change. It is almost like having a new kid! Even his dark countenance, clothing and music is gone! Now in his second year of school, he feels God is calling him to be a youth pastor and is planning on attending Calvary Chapel College in California. He has been a source of inspiration and a blessing to see how God uses his words and ministry, even in his online schooling, ministering to other teens and leading in his active youth group. We have been very blessed and I believe his CPA teacher was appointed by God to be his mentor. I found out later she too has a son the same age and some same circumstances and we have been able to pray for one another. I am also very blessed by CPA as this year, not only have they encouraged and challenged my sons academic journey and given him the support he needs when he needs it, they have also responded to an economic hardship we had unexpectedly with a scholarship from a donor. I applaud and thank so much Cross Connection Church for supporting CPA in its national outreach to effectively teach and train our children. Your invested seed is bearing fruit!”

“Calvary Preparatory Academy has been an answer to prayer for me and my kids in more ways than one. We were at a point where something had to change in our home school curriculum because I had to return to work and could not be the sole teacher for them. The teacher/student interaction that CPA offers was my main reason for choosing this school. The teachers have, by far, exceeded my expectations! The kids have flourished under their guidance and stayed on track with their academics. Thank you for your role in supporting this school, these students and families all over the world.”

“Homeschooling on the mission field is not always an easy task when your kids get older and need quality education. My daughter took 10th grade Biology class with Calvary Preparatory Academy and loved it. She learned a lot. As a parent I felt good about her getting a quality high school class. We are thankful.”

“Calvary Preparatory Academy has been a great experience ! The support you get from the staff is wonderful. My daughter, who is in the 10th grade, finds this program easier to navigate and enjoys her weekly meeting with her teacher. I have experience with other online schools and CPA is by far the best.”

“We’re the Haugers – missionaries in Kisumu, Kenya. We want to say a big ASANTE SANA (“many thanks” in Swahili) for the support and encouragement Calvary Preparatory Academy has been to our family. Our 12 year old daughter (oops, now 13) is enrolled as a first year student. Although the first semester was difficult for her with ending our furlough, heading back to the field and leaving her brother behind to school in the States, our online teacher could not have been more positive, patient and prayerful for us. Today, our daughter loves to log on and participate in the daily devotional discussion. She’s understanding the Bible and mathematics. We’re grateful for this opportunity in education abroad. “

“We appreciate Calvary Preparatory Academy, as it was the first step for our homeschooling family into an online course. Our daughter took a history course, and we chose Calvary because we wanted the course presented from a Christian worldview and because she needed the consistent weekly teacher meetings! The school’s teachers and director were so helpful as we navigated the tech details to make this work. At the completion of her class, my daughter was very satisfied with what she learned, and so were we.”

“The entire experience with Calvary is great. My daughter is more technically savvy thanks to utilizing technology daily and she has expanded her knowledge of online programs while working on the yearbook.The daily forum introduces her to different children worldwide with different perspectives and thoughts about the daily discussion and my daughter often chats with me about daily forum. The administrative staff is always readily available and extremely helpful. My daughter’s teachers have kept her working and reaching for her high grades all year.”

“Honestly, I am very pleased with the support we have received this year. I feel like the lines of communication and accountability have been open and clear. My husband and I have recommended your online academy to a few people. Blessings as you continue in your ministry to help those in Christian service around the world!My daughter has been challenged in many ways this year. Her academia has been a welcomed challenge, as well as her need to be independent in her learning process. “

“My daughters have taken leaps and bounds in their English knowledge and expression of themselves. They loved the history and really felt like they were finally learning something. The time limited and requirements are a good motivation. College prep was a great tool to help prepare our daughters. Thanks for everything!”

The weekly reports were crucial for us to keep our daughter accountable to us and her school progress. Being able to repeat failed subjects was really helpful in order to move on to next level.”

“Mrs. White has taught my son so much about organization, problem solving, time management and being responsible. She has held his feet to the fire when needed, while still being compassionate about circumstances. I believe this is a real-world skill that will benefit him in life even more than the academic excellence she requires!”

STUDENT TESTIMONIALS
“Calvary Preparatory Academy, over the past two years, has turned my life upside down, and inside out. When I first came to the school I wasn’t a Christian. In fact, I was a party-holic, a drinker, smoker, and I dabbled around in drugs. I was a gothic, self harming mess and I hated Christianity because it was so ‘judgmental.’Yet even so, something about the school’s care, tugged on my heart. Something drew me to the way that these teachers and students portrayed Christ..I ended up getting saved during my second semester with Calvary, and when I did, I discovered that nearly the whole school was praying for me desperately! Since then I’ve completely given my life over to Christ and classes that Calvary has to offer, has been a major encourager and ‘eye-opener’ during my walk with Christ. I’m currently studying World Religions and feel called to go into ministry (as a possible pastor/youth pastor). Such a change from my first year, right? So I wanted to thank you very much for supporting CPA, because it really means the world to me to be supported by a school that actually cares about its students. Thank you!”

“Thanks to Calvary Preparatory Academy I was able to learn at a pace I was comfortable with in a God-centered environment. Every day I would start class with my daily post discussing a specified chapter in the Bible. Starting every day with God helped me get through a time when I was struggling in my relationship with God. CPA helped me overcome that struggle, and I am extremely thankful for that. Next, I would continue on to finish my school work for the day. Calvary Prep Academy has it set up so that you can work at your own pace throughout the week, and at the end of the week you check in with your teacher to make sure you are on track. These weekly checkups helped me stay on track and kept me from getting behind most of the time. CPA is a great online school that I would recommend to anyone who is tired of the regular school setting or anyone who is in need of a more personal school experience.”

“I attended CPA for the last three years of my high school years. It really impacted my life, showed me new things, learned new things and, most importantly, it grew me closer to God. The teachers there are all kind and Jesus centered. They ask if you need prayer and they pray for you on the spot, which really helps with letting some of the stress go! I love the teachers there at CPA and if Jesus doesn’t come back yet, I want to be able to send my kid there in the future! God bless, may you continue to grow and be used by Jesus!”

“Calvary Prep Academy has by far been the best school I have ever attended! It has blessed my spiritual life so much with the Daily Discussions, and my teacher, Mrs. White, has immensely blessed me in more ways than I can count! Thank you all so much for your continual devotion to the students. I really appreciate it! And I know in my heart that God has called CPA to bring revival to the students, and love to the world. Thank you so much!”
