School Overview

The College and Career Preparatory Academy (CCPA), operated under the umbrella of the Orange County Department of Education (OCDE), is a specialized educational program designed for young adults between the ages of 16 and 24 who are looking to complete their high school education. Located in Santa Ana, the academy serves as a bridge for students who may have previously dropped out or need a non-traditional path to earn a high school diploma. The curriculum is delivered through a blended learning model, combining online coursework with the support of credentialed teachers and instructional staff, allowing students to learn at an individualized pace.

Beyond basic credit recovery, the academy maintains a strong focus on workforce readiness and post-secondary transition. By integrating academic instruction with vocational training and career planning, the school aims to equip students with the practical skills necessary for immediate employment or entry into community college. The CCPA represents a vital community resource for those seeking a second chance at academic success within a flexible, supportive, and career-oriented environment.

* Charter Schools: A public charter school is a publicly funded school that operates independently under a legislative contract (or "charter") with a state, school district, or designated authorizing entity. Charters grant these schools greater operational flexibility over curriculum, staffing, and budgeting in exchange for strict accountability to achieve performance standards established in their charter agreement.

¹ National School Lunch Program (NSLP): The National School Lunch Program is a federally assisted meal program operating in public and nonprofit private schools. It provides nutritionally balanced, low-cost or free lunches to eligible children each school day based on household income thresholds or community eligibility options (CEO).
