We are here to offer Guidance, Support, and Accountability.

CCA-ISP is available for record-keeping accountability, social interaction, and educational opportunities. Your commitment to your children’s education will be supported by CCA-ISP. This year will bring its share of difficulties and challenges, but the Lord is faithful and will honor your commitment by empowering you with His strength.

SCHOOL ORGANIZATION

This ISP has been established to assist home schooling families whose beliefs are consistent with those of our church. Jesus Christ is the foundation of our church, and our beliefs are consistent with the true and living Word of God.

We assist parents in fulfilling their legal requirements, including the filing of a private school affidavit, maintaining student cumulative files and keeping other relevant records as required by law. CCA-ISP requires mandatory HSLDA membership.

ACADEMIC SERVICES

Cumulative Records
Your student’s permanent cumulative records are maintained in the school office at Calvary Christian Academy. CCA-ISP will obtain them from your previous school, and should you decide to leave CCA-ISP, we will forward them for you. Each month you will turn in a worksheet for your students showing what they have done for the month. These worksheets will be kept in your student’s cum file along with the attendance records that you fill out and work samples of your child’s schoolwork.

Resource Lending Library
CCA-ISP has educational CD's available to loan to CCA-ISP parents to help them fine-tune their teaching skills. We also have curriculum books to help you see and evaluate the curriculum that is available in the home school market.

Stanford Achievement Testing
The Stanford Achievement Test (SAT) will be required each spring to all students sixth grade and above. It is recommended for younger students and is available upon request. Standardized testing is to help you, the teacher, see where strengths and weaknesses are in your student. This can be very valuable in determining curriculum choices for the following year.

ACTIVITIES

As members of CCA-ISP, we have the privilege of participating in some of Calvary Christian Academy’s events and activities. We will be given ACSI membership benefits. Some of these benefits include a Spelling Bee, Choral Festival, Math Olympics and a Geography Bee. At times the CCA teachers may want to include us in their class field trips. These field trips have proven to be both educational and fun, as well as a good opportunity for our home school students to fellowship with the CCA students.

CCA-ISP will participate in school pictures in the fall. We will also have a school yearbook for the ISP.

Fees for Calvary Christian Academy Independent Study Program
2007-2008 School Year:

Registration fees:
Elementary - $90 per child
Jr. High - $120 per child
High School - $150 per child
(Registration fees are non-refundable, unless the school does not accept enrollment)

Senior High ISP students have the option to take up to three consecutive classes at CCA with the CCA students and faculty. Sports are included in the class choices. Fees for each class are $110 per month. The student will participate on a daily basis in the classes that they are registered for. This will enable parents to have their child get a private school education, at a minimal cost, in subjects that may be difficult for the parents to teach. This also gives the student an opportunity to participate in sports on a private school team.

Prescribed Dress

As we implement a Classic Education, we will have Prescribed Dress (uniforms) for all grades at the CCA campus. If your ISP student is on campus at CCA for an activity, class, or field trip, they must comply with the Prescribed Dress Code. The cost for the Prescribed Dress is the responsibility of the parent. Prescribed Dress is to be purchased solely through the current CCA designated apparel source.

CCA no longer accepts payment at the school. All payments are made through FACTS Tuition Service. Please call the office for details.

HSLDA – Home School Legal Defense Association membership is mandatory for families in the
CCA-ISP. HSLDA represents home schooling families legally should legal issues arise.
