Dear Families,

Welcome to a whole new world of learning. Schooling at home has just gotten easier and, because

of technology, offers a much higher level of personalization and excellence in education for the

home educator. CPA offers an online Web-based learning environment featuring a media-rich,

online curriculum for grades K through 12. This Web-based curriculum can be accessed through any

internet connection and browser using a personal computer (PC) or Macintosh. With animation,

video clips, and other exciting multimedia,

Unlike traditional textbook curriculums, CPA Online Curriculum has a diverse, vibrant mix of

entertaining lessons, assignments, and quizzes. Fun-filled lessons are created to captivate students'

attention and engage them in learning. Interactive learning games, web links, and off-computer

projects create opportunities for in-depth study. Automatic grading and lesson planning tools allow

CPA teachers to easily set calendar dates for semester or year-long schedules. Our online

curriculum offers all core subjects, plus a variety of exciting electives, which can be used as part of

a core curriculum, a summer school option, credit recovery, or specialized courses. There are over

120 Courses and 35 electives to choose from. Most electives are for grades 7-12.

CPA Online Curriculum can accommodate a range of students — regardless of their proficiency

levels. At-risk students have more opportunities to review and practice to establish baseline skills.

Mainstream students can explore concepts more thoroughly to acquire a deeper understanding.

Advanced students can tackle more challenging problems to extend their knowledge. Lastly, the

assessment-guided content helps provide individualized instruction to students. Students and

parents can gauge student progress throughout the year using online diagnostic tests that report

results for your student or take advantage of individual study plans that are automatically

generated in each subject. Students may choose remedial, basic, honors or AP courses.

Families must additionally enroll in our CPA Homeschool Academy Private School for

recordkeeping, guidance, transcripts and more. Please download the CPA Homeschool Academy

Information Packet (www.championprep.org/documents )for more information. The online

curriculum is an add on option for our CPA Homeschool members.

It is our prayer that you will choose our CPA courseware to supplement your curriculum or for a full

curriculum o to provide the support you need to ensure a successful home-education program. We

are here to serve you and your family. Please contact our staff if you have questions or need further

information.

Blessings,

Ms. Vicki Phillips, MA

OPTION 1: COMPASS ONLINE CURRICULUM (K-5)

The K-5 online program is one of the best programs available for teaching reading skills and math. We use the

Compass Learning Odyssey curriculum for our K-5 Online courses.

Reading/Language Arts:

Reading/Language Arts focuses on these five building blocks in a comprehensive curriculum that interweaves

listening, speaking, reading, and writing. This reading and language arts program supports each student’s

learning style and level of achievement. Reading/language arts skills are essential for every child. And the latest

research tells us that a strong reading program is built on five components:

1.Phonemic awareness

2.Phonics

3.Fluency

4.Vocabulary comprehension

The interactive conversational interface engages students more deeply in the learning process, whether they are

learning phonics or reading a novel. For young readers, a systematic and explicit instruction in phonics,

meaningful instruction in context, and direct instruction in decoding and comprehension with unique decodable

readers. The decodable readers are "versions" of the unit story designed with components that assist struggling

readers with the text. As students progress from learning to read, to reading to learn, Reading/Language Arts

develops their comprehension, vocabulary, and fluency. The reading activities provide standards-based explicit

instructional strategies, systematic teaching, modeling, and ample opportunities for students to practice and

experience success.

Writing Tools:

How do students become good writers?

Practice, practice, practice.

Like playing the cello or speaking fluent French, developing strong writing skills takes practice. Our CPA Online

Academy has a word-processing program enriched with everything a student needs to become a confident

writer: note cards, mind maps, templates, and more. Writer’s Corner (Kindergarten) and Story Creator (Grades 1)

feature interactive learning environments where students learn to read, write, and express their thoughts. Children

create their own unique stories with characters, scenery, and vocabulary words of their choosing.

Math:

The Math curriculum will lead students through the exciting and challenging landscape of math. Young students

must acquire fundamental math skills to build a meaningful context for more advanced knowledge. Math

demystifies the world of numbers and engages them in math’s fascinating challenges and puzzles. The interactive

approach brings the world of math alive with highly engaging skill-building activities. These lessons employ real-

world contexts in which students can apply ideas, tools, and manipulatives.

OPTION 1 con’t: COMPASS ONLINE CURRICULUM (K-5)

Science:

Grades 1 & 2 : The Online Science curriculum gives students an interactive and engaging way to build scientific

core knowledge and tie academic content to real-world exploration and application.

●Supplements existing curriculum with engaging activities in physics, chemistry, biology, and earth science

●Addresses science theory, principles, concepts, and real-world applications

●Teaches students how to gather, organize, and interpret data

Social Studies:

Grades 1& 2: Social Studies engages students in the world around them. The more in tune students are with their

history, their government, and the society of the world around them, the more successful they'll be as students —

and eventually, as adults. The Online Social Studies brings those topics to life, illustrating their relevance to today's

students in a way that is engaging and interactive.

●Is aligned to state standards

●Reflects the very latest confirmed research about how students engage, think & learn

●Includes powerful summative and formative assessment tools that measure progress and prescribe

individualized learning paths

essay lessons and exams with Basic Enrollment, and with the Deluxe Enrollment, the teacher will additionally be in

contact with the student on a weekly basis to make sure they stay motivated. Deluxe Enrollment also includes

enrollment in Champion Preparatory Academy Private School for recordkeeping and legal fulfillment.

Placement Testing is provided for 3rd through 12thgrade at no extra cost. Placement testing can be used to

determine if your student has gaps in their education, so we can assign just the right curriculum to fill in any gaps.

Placement testing is optional.

History and Geography is a complete, Bible-based curriculum. The goal of these courses is to develop students'

understanding of and appreciation for God's activity as seen in the record of man and his relationships. The

curriculum targets this goal by focusing on six major themes: Geography (World and American), History (World

History and Religious History), Government and Citizenship, Economics, and Social Studies.

Bible is a Christ-centered curriculum with a developmental, in-depth study of the Old and New Testaments. Using

the King James Version, this Bible curriculum covers a variety of biblical material to assist in the development of

practical Christian living. The Bible curriculum provides seven major themes: Theology, Attributes of God, Biblical

literature, Biblical geography, Christian growth, Christian evidence, and a special emphasis for each grade level.

Language Arts targets the sequential development of communication skills in reading, writing, listening, and

speaking. Because Language Arts is an integrated program, the elementary grades weave skill topics (Reading,

Writing, Listening, Speaking) together within units. In the middle and high school grades, skills are developed unit

by unit. The major strands are detailed as follows: Reading (Vocabulary, Comprehension Skills, Literature Studies),

Writing (Spelling, Penmanship, Grammar, Composition).

Science is an exciting, Bible-based curriculum for grades 3-12. Students develop observational skills as they study

the physical universe God created. The program involves a combination of on- and off-computer assignments,

including experiments. Elementary and middle-school, grades (3-9), observe each area of science on an

individual survey basis, usually unit by unit. The high school grades (10-12),focus on specific areas of science—

Biology, Chemistry, and Physics. The four major strands are as follows: Life Science (Plants and Animals, Human

Anatomy and Personal Care, Biology), Space and Earth Science (Geology, Weather, Space), Physical Science

(Chemistry, Physics), Nature of Science (Scientific Method, Experimentation, Technology).
