# College Park Academy to Offer Fully Online Education

*September 29, 2022* — by [Liam Farrell](/author/liam-farrell)


> Successful COVID Pivot Inspires New Option for Students

*201905143 CPA Plus 002 1920x1080 — Students at College Park Academy have been learning in a blended virtual and in-person environment since its opening in 2013, and the school is now introducing an all-virtual option.*

As a pioneer in blending traditional and online learning, [College Park Academy](https://collegeparkacademy.net/) had to spend far less precious instructional time rethinking its operations than most schools when COVID-19 shut down in-person classes across the country.

Now the board of directors of the public charter school, which launched in 2013 with support from the University of Maryland, is doubling down on the lessons learned from those uncertain early months of the pandemic by offering a new fully virtual option for middle and high school students who may learn better online, travel frequently with their families or have ongoing health concerns.

[CPA@Home](https://cpa-online.org/) is a state-approved private school that will mirror the in-person option with rigorous college prep courses, Pearson Connections Online and Blended Learning instructors, and dedicated CPA success coaches who map individual learning goals. It is available now for interested students from anywhere in the United States, and will fully launch for the 2023-24 school year.
