✅ What Makes the School Unique?

CPA is distinguished by its intimate size, college-prep focus, and traditional educational values:

• College Preparatory Focus: The High School curriculum (9–12) is explicitly structured as college-preparatory, offering a core liberal arts education that focuses on deep comprehension, critical reading, and strong writing skills.

• Small Class Sizes & Personalization: Maintains an intentionally small class size and low student-to-teacher ratio, which facilitates personalized attention and allows teachers to cater to individual learning styles and needs.

• Traditional Curriculum: Emphasizes a traditional, structured curriculum across all grade levels, ensuring students build a strong, consistent foundation in core subjects (Math, Science, Language Arts, History).

• Character and Leadership Development: High priority is placed on instilling moral values, respect, and personal responsibility. The small community naturally fosters leadership opportunities for older students.

• Unified K-12 Campus: Serving students from Kindergarten through 12th grade on one campus provides a consistent culture, curriculum progression, and a close-knit, family-like atmosphere where older students often mentor younger ones.

• Extracurricular Activities: Offers a balanced program that typically includes competitive athletics (basketball, volleyball, etc., depending on size) and opportunities in Fine Arts and academic clubs.
