College Park Academy provides students with an educational experience as similar to college as possible, and, in turn, our students are better prepared to earn admission to top colleges and universities.

CPA students are passionate about their studies and our rigorous curriculum challenges them to complete it with tenacity, focus, and excellence. This excellence is evident in our statistics which directly reflect our mission:

• Eighty-three percent of high school junior and seniors are enrolled in Advanced Placement classes.
• In our first three graduating classes, six students graduated early because they were able to accelerate.
• Graduating students have been accepted to top colleges or universities such as UC/Berkeley, University of Pennsylvania, John Hopkins, University of Chicago, Duke, and, of course, UMD.
• Test scores are typically among the highest in Maryland—on par with Howard, Montgomery and Anne Arundel Counties.
• Eleven applications for each available seat at College Park Academy.

College Park Academy is one of the first “bricks and clicks” middle and high schools in the United States, with a fully online curriculum (clicks) and on-site classroom learning (bricks). In middle school, most classes are taught face-to-face, but at the high school level, a third of our courses (primarily foreign languages and electives) are taught by online teachers. This high quality, personalized learning, allows students to move at their own pace and to accelerate. As a result of our students, staff, and parent’s experience with online learning; CPA students smoothly transitioned to the distance learning during COVID.
