BRIEF HISTORY

Founded in 2011

College Park Academy was designed in 2011 through a collaboration between Prince George’s County Public Schools, the University of Maryland and the City of College Park. The design called for an innovative approach to learning combining face-to-face teaching with online content.

The proposal for CPA was approved in 2012 and College Park Academy opened in 2013 with 300 6th and 7th grade students. Each subsequent year another grade was added until we had our first graduating class in 2019. Graduates from CPA matriculate to the top colleges and universities across the state and nation.
