| Description: |
This coeducational public cyber school for K-8 grade students provides a new form of public school that students can attend from home. This is a free program that combines the strong parental involvement of homeschooling, the expertise and accountability of publicly funded education, and the flexibility of online classes. Parents pay no tuition for students to attend CCA. Students are considered to be enrolled in a public school and receive the loan of a desktop computer and a printer. Students are required to take all state mandated, standardized tests in person at locations designated by the school. Students are accepted from anywhere in the state. |

This was our first year with CCA and my son and I are very pleased with the school. Being gifted and learning disabled, my son was able to move at his own pace and recieved much needed accomodations which our district school would not consider since his weakest areas were in the average range. He was able to start math the next grade up and move as quickly as he wanted. The school truly seemed to know more about gifted AND learning disabled kids, than our local school. |
