 A Quick Note on Our "Soft Start"

At COA, we do things a little differently...  While many other traditional schools (including Newberg), are starting around August 31st we will start a week later, COA does more of a "soft start." During that first week, we focus on getting fully organized, prepared, and ready to dive into learning. Because our learning model allows students to move through their coursework at a faster pace, this intentional, later start keeps us right on track—and often allows us to wrap up earlier at the end of the year!
