Opened August 2004

Columbus Preparatory Academy (CPA) is a school of classical education.  With a solid focus on literature, arts, history, and language, students will be immersed in a high-standards, supportive environment that encourages independent research and mastery of the spoken and written word.  An emphasis on classical education fits seamlessly with Paragon’s core design resting on the Socratic method and the investigation of “grand ideas” throughout the ages.

The Academy implements two compatible curriculums that embody the vision of teaching and learning the school’s mission.  The morning session of school is devoted to the Core Curriculum, with intensive uninterrupted study of Literature, Phonics, Spelling, SRA Mathematic, and Science Anytime.  Math and Science are taught as discrete subjects.  The afternoon session consists of the Paragon Curriculum, a Humanities Curriculum that covers the following: Social Studies; History; Philosophy; Science; Visual and Dramatic Arts; Communications; Foreign Language; Entrepreneurship; Character Development; Mathematics; Music; and Physical Education.  These subjects are integrated in conceptual monthly themes organized around the chronological history of world culture.
