Elective Classes
Explore Our Thursday Electives
Thursdays at Calvary Meridian Prep Academy are designed for elective classes. We aim to offer additional classes to provide a well rounded education for students. These classes are optional for CMPA students in grades 3rd-8th, while those attending CMPA as high school students must take elective classes as a graduation requirement. In addition, Thursday elective classes are open to our local homeschool community.
Taught by paid instructors, CMPA elective classes are intended to enhance your student's learning experience through a fun, hands-on, lab-like environment. All courses we offer are semester long and there will be various options available throughout the school year. As an additional benefit, any student in the 6th grade or above that is enrolled in an elective class can participate in CMPA extracurricular activities, including sports.
