Introduction A. Letter to Families Dear Families, Champion is excited to announce we will be moving for the 2022-2023 school year to 251 East Lake Brantley Drive Longwood, FL 32779. Our Day school and our school office for all programs will be located here. We expect to move our office in June, 2022. 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, this curriculum will engage your student and create an enjoyable learning experience. 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. New for the 2022-2023 School Year: We are offering a K-AA degree online private school with a mentor assigned to each student and a certified teacher available to help your student when they need help with academics. 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 or College. Blessings, Ms. Vicki Phillips, MA Founder/Executive Director 3
Introduction B. Introduction to Champion Preparatory Academy We know that if you have never been introduced to the many opportunities and methods of learning, all of this may be confusing to you. Just remember that all families enrolled in any of our programs are enrolled in Champion Preparatory Academy, our fully accredited private school. Being a private school, we have the right to decide how we wish to conduct school. Champion just happens to have selected several ways to help you accomplish your school objectives: homeschool; attend school online; or attend our on-campus day school, full or part-time. All of the options can be great educational options, but you need to decide which option will work best C. Mission Statement At Champion Preparatory Academy we want to partner with parents to inspire their children to be college- prepared, character witnesses for Christ. With the Lord as our guide, we are committed to equipping our students and families to be confident in what they believe and able to defend their faith in love, boldly, and unashamedly. D. Vision Statement Champion exists to cultivate parental involvement in the educational process of their children. We strive to instill students with a biblical worldview and the passion to stand firm and articulate boldly in defense of their faith, to guide them into independent learning, and to train our students to always give themselves fully to the work of the Lord because their labor will not be in vain. Truth is revealed by God through Christ “in whom are hid all the treasures of wisdom and knowledge.” Colossians 2:3 E. Statement of Faith Families must be in agreement with the following Statement of Faith that guides the ministry of Champion Preparatory Academy: There is one sovereign God in three persons: the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. There is one way of salvation: faith in Jesus Christ, the son of God, who lived as a man, died for the sins of all men, and was resurrected so that all who believe in their hearts, and confess Jesus as Lord with their mouths will be saved. There is one book of truth: the Bible, God’s written revelation to man, authoritative, reliable, and inerrant, without the need of any document to complete the message. There is one body: the church with its many parts acting in unison. F. Statement of Policy It is the opinion of the Board of Directors that our policies are fair and just. Each family enrolled in Champion Preparatory Academy programs has acknowledged their responsibility to the organization and obligated themselves to the fulfillment of its policies. The expectations are of responsible compliance to reasonable standards, which allows for grace, but also enforces just consequences when violations occur. G. Non-Discriminatory Policy Champion admits students of any race, color, ethnic or national origin to all the rights, privileges, programs, and activities extended to students. Champion does not discriminate in the administration of its policies or educational programs. Champion Preparatory Academy aspires to create a friendly, pleasant, and challenging school environment for its students - an environment where sensitivity, respect for others, and hard work are valued. As a college preparatory school, Champion Preparatory Academy intends to thoroughly prepare its students for further education, encouraging them to strive for excellence, yet paying attention to their individual needs. It is hoped that the atmosphere of the school will encourage students to enjoy a variety of activities and experiences and take pride in the quality, Christ-centered education at Champion Preparatory Academy. 4

Online Curriculum OPTION 1: COMPASS ONLINE CURRICULUM (K-5) This 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 four 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 is offered. 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. 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 6 ●Promotes exploration, cooperative learning, problem solving, reflection, and real-world connections, all
