Paraphrase vs. Quotation

Original:

CA is a college-preparatory school that challenges its students.

Quotation:

CA is academically rigorous; the homepage describes it as "a college-preparatory school that challenges its students" (cheshireacademy.org).

Paraphrase:

According to the homepage, students at CA take courses that are designed to push them academically and ensure their future success in college (cheshireacademy.org).

**Note that both of these versions need to include the citation so that they acknowledge where the ideas came from. Neither of these could stand alone without citation or else it would be plagiarism of ideas.
