Our 2 children attend Cyprus from rural Arkansas, thanks to their top notch online program. We are so impressed with the personalized schedules the school creates to suit each of their needs. Our 6 year-old is in her 2nd year. She has thrived--she's challenged but not overwhelmed. Her 1st year, she received one-on-one instruction in reading and math. Our 9 year-old is in his 4th year, and the school continues to provide classes that are perfectly suited to his learning level. The live Zooms are engaging, class sizes are small, and the teachers and staff are some of the hardest working I’ve encountered. Cyprus offers a wonderful environment for gifted kids.

My daughter just completed her first year of Super K. She was reading chapter books before she turned 4, so we knew we needed a challenge for her as a 4 year old. We discovered Cyprus while searching for options and are so grateful we did. It was amazing to see how much she learned and grew over the school year. She flourished with the learning environment and being around the older kids. The individualized instruction helped her catch up on skills she struggled with and move further ahead where she did well.

We absolutely love this school! The staff is incredibly attentive and genuinely cares about each student. The small class sizes provide a personalized learning experience, and the family-like atmosphere makes it feel like a home away from home. Highly recommend!

I picked Cyprus Academy after a fairly intense review of schools in the wider area last year. I like the ability-based curriculum which customizes the classes per child per curriculum (Math, Reading, Geography etc.). This leads to more engagement from the child. My son is stronger at mathematics over reading and it enables customization of the curriculum. I am very impressed with how articulate six-year-olds can become over a few months when they interact with engaged teachers everyday at school in a smaller setting.
