Academic Excellence for God’s Glory

Yes, CAA is accredited both regionally and nationally and is registered and accredited as a private school with the state of Texas. Please visit our Accreditations page for more information on our accrediting organizations.

Yes, we maintain academic records for each student who enrolls with us.* We provide annual report cards, Verification of Enrollment forms/letters, and transcripts. Additional documents are available as needed (e.g. verification of full-time attendance for drivers permits, mid-year report cards for rodeo, etc.). If a student transfers out, we will send records directly to the new school upon official request.

*Because we are distance-based, we do not maintain medical records.

Yes, our accreditations usually provide ease of transferability. Public and private schools have varying rules and policies regarding the acceptance of transfer credits, so we cannot guarantee transfer. However, because we are fully accredited, high school credits awarded by CAA are accepted at most public and private schools.

We are not able to enroll international students at this time.

Students may enroll at any time during the calendar year provided our enrollment is not full. Grade placement is based on the records we receive from the previous school or homeschool, and students complete the school year on an individualized schedule.

Distance learning (homeschooling) is legal in every state.  However, the requirements differ from state to state. CAA is an accredited private school and there are usually fewer requirements for homeschooling through a private school in most states. If you have questions about your state’s requirements for distance learning, visit the Home School Legal Defense Association website (HSLDA – www.hslda.org).

Some states require homeschool students to take nationally standardized achievement tests. CAA does not require achievement testing, but we do offer the online California Achievement Test (CAT) for 4th-12th grade students every spring.

For either format, parents need to have a reliable phone number and email address that will be checked regularly. Internet access will be required to complete school forms throughout the year.

For the online program, reliable, high-speed internet is required on a daily basis for students to log in and complete work. Students will also need a laptop, computer, or tablet with a supported browser. (Some program features may not be compatible with a tablet, so a laptop or computer is recommended.) See Ignitia System Requirements for more details.

Parents are responsible to supervise their student’s daily work. This involves monitoring progress, providing assistance as needed, and checking and grading some work.

With the online program, depending on the student’s grade level, 85-95% of grading is automated. Short answer questions and essays that require parent grading include answer keys and/or grading instructions. When students finish their online work for a grade level, parents are responsible to notify CAA staff. With the workbook program, parents are responsible for all grading. Score keys and test keys are provided. Parents are also responsible to record grades and return completed schoolwork and resources to CAA as instructed. Shipping costs for returning completed schoolwork and resources are not covered by CAA. For all formats and programs (kindergarten, workbook, and online), parents must maintain communication with CAA staff throughout the school year. This involves completing all required forms, responding to emails and phone calls, and communicating with CAA staff regarding the student’s progress and any other relevant information.

Yes.

What equipment and supplies do we need to have available?

For either format, parents need to have a reliable phone number and email address that will be checked regularly. Internet access will be required to complete school forms throughout the year.

For the workbook program, your student will need basic school supplies such as a pencil, eraser, and notebook. High school students may need a calculator for more advanced math.

For the kindergarten program, all supplies needed are included in the Resource Kit that comes with the curriculum.

We keep our standard tuition as low as possible in an effort to make our program accessible to more families. We do offer a 5% second student discount per additional student for multiple enrolled students within the same immediate family.

No, unless you specifically request it. After your student begins with CAA, we will email you an invoice showing any registration and tuition that has already been paid. You are responsible to submit the next installment by the due date listed, either on the Payment Center or by calling the office. If tuition is not submitted by the due date and you receive an inactive notification by email, a $15 Reactivation Fee will be required (in addition to the tuition due) to continue your student’s enrollment.

If you would like to set up automatic recurring payments, please contact us. Recurring payments are scheduled for one grade level at a time, and must be requested again for each subsequent school year.

Tuition is the same for both programs.

With the workbook program, this means the cost of shipping original materials to students is covered by tuition. However, parents are responsible for return shipping of required reports, resources, and any supplies needed to ship those items back to CAA. Materials sent by CAA as a replacement for work that has been lost, damaged, or changed due to course adjustments will incur replacement and shipping fees.
