CALIFORNIA PREPARATORY ACADEMY

If your child has an Individualized Education Program (IEP), please contact your child's Case Carrier regarding placement in an independent study school. The IEP placement meeting must be held before a student can enroll into Cal Prep.

 

Please note: Online learning is not for everyone. It requires a great deal of self-discipline and self-monitoring, which are common characteristics of independent learners. Online classes also require a great deal of reading and interacting with others through the use of discussion boards and instant messaging.

To enroll for Fall 2024 (24-25 school year that starts August 2024) and you are seeking to be a full-time or dual-enrolled student (majority of your classes at Cal Prep) it is required that you attend a one-hour information meeting. During the meeting, you will learn about Cal Prep's classes, online learning management systems, dual-enrollment with your resident high school, requirements of being a Cal Prep student, and more. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions.  At the end of the meeting, you will be given instructions about enrollment, which will include an in-person visit with the student and parent to Cal Prep to turn in forms and choose classes.

 

Upcoming Information Meeting Dates: 

Tuesday, April 16, 2024 - 12:00 p.m. - held virtually via Zoom. Please register here.

 

If you are interested in taking a SINGLE COURSE for Fall semester 2024: Please print out this single course contract-request form AND this single course Master Agreement. Give both to your high school Counselor for approval. Single course students are not required to attend an information meeting, but are welcome to attend in order to learn about Cal Prep. 

 

If you are transferring into Capistrano USD from outside the district, please contact Cal Prep's registrar for information: Tammie Schulman - tmschulman@capousd.org. 

If you are interested in applying for School of Choice through Capistrano Unified School District, go to this link for information (click on the word "link"). This is the process for applying to attend a school that is not your resident high school. 

Cal Prep students have the opportunity to participate in co-curricular programs, extra curricular activities, athletic team sports, and fine arts programs (band, orchestra, theater) at their CUSD "home" high school, as per CUSD Board Policy. This is a unique opportunity that is not commonly available to students attending online schools. Audition and try-out requirements apply.
