2021-2022 Academic Catalog | 3CUYAHOGA VALLEY CHRISTIAN ACADEMY WELCOME TO CVCA Welcome to CVCA! For new students, we look forward to getting to know you and your God-given strengths and abilities. For all students, we are excited that you have chosen to travel with us on one of the most important journeys you can take: an education preparing you for God’s calling on your life. 6th and 7th grade students enroll in grade-level Bible, English, Math, Science, and Social Studies courses, and most benefit from having one study hall incorporated into their schedule as well. World Language, Physical Education/Health, Fine Arts, and Technology courses are offered on a rotating basis throughout each week in the 6th and 7th grades. Students must also select a fine art course from among the options available for their grade level. Students selecting a high school level performing fine art class are scheduled for their grade-level technology course during their study hall. 8th grade students enroll in grade-level Bible, English, and Social Studies. In the areas of Math and Science, introductory high school level courses are available to qualified students in addition to grade-level courses. Students must also select two elec- tives from among the academic disciplines of Fine Arts, Technology, PE/Health, and World Language. Electives in the Fine Arts and World Language for 8th grade students are offered at the introductory high school level. Students are expected to main- tain at least a “B” average in high school level courses, and the grade earned is included in the student’s high school GPA. High school students must enroll in a Bible, English, and Math course each semester. Model academic plans with suggested course scheduling to achieve a variety of Ohio Honors Diplomas are provided on pages 10-11 of this catalog. It is important to ensure that your schedule is appropriately rigorous for your academic gifts and abilities. We encourage you to complete the Schedule Planning Guides at the end of this academic catalog, planning ahead for your full middle school and high school experience. As you plan for the future, consider graduation requirements, the opportunities available in Schools of Distinction in grades 11 and 12 (page 12), and Advance Placement (AP) and College Level courses (CL) in grades 10-12 (pages 13-14). If you have any questions regarding school course scheduling, please do not hesitate to contact the Guidance Office or me directly. In Christ, L.

OFFICE OF ACADEMIC SUCCESS
AND INSTRUCTIONAL SERVICES (OASIS)
OASIS seeks to help students discover their unique learning styles and needs, improve their study or organizational skills, and increase
their academic success. OASIS is not intended to serve as formal academic tutoring. New students may be assigned to OASIS by the
Admissions Committee and returning students may be assigned to OASIS based on their academic performance during the prior quar-
ter. If a parent believes their child would benefit from OASIS services, they are encouraged to contact the Director of OASIS to discuss.
STUDY HALL, STUDY TABLES,
AND PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY TIME (PRT)
All middle school students with an open period participate in a Study Hall guided by OASIS faculty. Study Hall is a time set aside for
reviewing lessons, reading, working on assignments, and reflecting on learning. Additionally, middle school students may be assigned to
Study Tables that take place during lunch. Study Tables provide an extra measure of accountability for students who demonstrate a pat-
tern of not being academically prepared for class.
High school students with an open period may be assigned to Study Hall or Personal Responsibility Time (PRT). Responsible time manage-
ment is an important skill to develop, and PRT is designed to give students guided freedom in making choices in how to use their open
periods. High school students who are on academic or behavioral watch, warning, or probation are assigned to a traditional, proctored
Study Hall instead of PRT. New high school students may be assigned to Study Hall instead of PRT by the Admissions Committee.

SCHOOLS OF DISTINCTION
CVCA sophomores may apply to one of five Schools of Distinction (SOD), each organized around a specific career field. SOD students
accepted to the program take specialized courses as juniors and seniors. These are listed in the table below with course descriptions
throughout this booklet. Additionally, SOD students participate in a mentorship program with a Christian professional each semester
and must complete an internship or field experience of at least 30 hours before graduation. An internship or field experience may be
fulfilled as a Career Experience Opportunity (CEO) during Jterm or Mterm or arranged independently during the summer, over a school
holiday, or throughout the school year. Students who complete all coursework, the mentorship program, and the internship experience
have the SOD noted on their transcript and wear SOD-specific cords at graduation.

BIBLE
The Bible Department believes in the truth and beauty of the Word of God as the rule for faith and practice. As a result, students are
engaged in the study, interpretation, application and defense of the Word of God. Our ultimate goal is that each student will come to
understand and love the God who is revealed in the Scriptures. To that end, the purpose of the Bible Department is to utilize all instruc-
tional and relational opportunities in order to see CVCA students mature in their faith in Jesus Christ.
Students are required to take a grade-level Bible course each semester. Additional elective courses that are open to all students (except
where noted) are available through the School of Ministry.
