Who We Are
Headquartered in Lake Oswego, Oregon, The Christa McAuliffe Academy School of Arts and Sciences (CMASAS) is an asynchronous, private, K-12, accredited online school with a community of students from around the globe, representing 31 different countries. Our unparalleled team of experienced educators embrace the individual learning styles and goals of each student with a flexible Personalized Education Plan (PEP).
Our team of Personalized Education Coaches (PECs) and Course Instructors (CIs) work together to nurture the whole person in a safe, caring, student-centered environment. We empower students to explore infinite possibilities for personal growth, awareness, accountability, and professional success. As a global community, we celebrate diversity, mastery-based learning, and strive to make education fun and engaging.
Many CMASAS alumni have gone on to top-tier universities and have become professional athletes, dancers, musicians, Olympians, physicians, and leaders in their communities.
HOW WE SERVE
The school uses a Personalized Education Model to fit the needs of today's generation. Seasoned online professionals help to foster a sense of community where new ideas can take root and grow more easily… where innovation is welcomed and applauded. On average, our faculty, and Personalized Education Coaches (PECs) have worked 15 years in education and 5 years at our school.
Every student has their own Personalized Education Plan (PEP) and is assigned a dedicated and experienced online PEC and CI, who provide one-on-one personalized attention to help guide students in their course planning, organizational skills, course curriculum, and fulfillment of graduation requirements. Families love the flexibility of schedule and the ability to shape their classes to address students' interests and learning styles.
HOW WE CONNECT
Students' weekly PEC check-ins could potentially consist of creating weekly goals, encouraging course progress, guidance counseling, and college research support. Students also benefit from attending weekly homerooms and clubs hosted through Microsoft Teams. Students make friends with students from around the globe, have opportunities to meet in person at 5-6 U.S. Regional Gatherings, an international trip and at graduation each year.
