MISSION AND VISION
VISION
College Park Academy strives to be one of the most rigorous college prep middle and high schools in America, combining a strong academic culture, personalized learning and extracurriculars with college-level opportunities in partnership with the University of Maryland.
MISSION
College Park Academy provides all students the opportunity to learn at their own pace while accelerating and earning up to 60 college credits, including UMD credits, and, holistically prepares them for admission into the top colleges and universities in the country.
Why CPA
Foreign Languages
In addition to acceleration, CPA offers students many more foreign languages (four, starting in middle school with native language speakers) and more electives than most other schools, particularly schools with small classes and a small-school environment.
Values
College Park Academy is not just about academic rigor—kindness, honesty, generosity, and respect are part of the College Park Academy core values. We exhibit these values throughout our classrooms, within our leadership, and work to instill them into our school culture.
After School Programs
At CPA, we have high expectations for our students, and we believe that this encourages them to expect greatness from themselves. Our students develop critical-thinking and self-management skills as they decide when to take which course, how many and which electives to take, and at what pace to proceed. When the last bell rings, if students want to continue learning, CPA Plus offers a variety of after school programs in the arts, sciences, music, and athletics.
College Prep
Most important, we send well-rounded CPA graduates to top colleges and universities ready to succeed.
