Personalized Learning

Whether your child needs extra time to master certain subjects or can cruise through a curriculum at light speed, PA Cyber helps every student create their own custom learning path and set their own pace. Kids with individualized education programs and 504 plans can take as much time as they need to thoughtfully complete their courses. Meanwhile, some accelerated students are able to earn enough college credits during their high school years–thanks to PA Cyber’s partnerships with higher education institutions–that they’re able to graduate university a semester or two early.

Quality Education

PA Cyber offers kids a top-notch education with rich academic content aligned to state standards, taught by highly-qualified, state-certified teachers.

Not only do students get to choose the style of learning that best suits them–from real-time virtual classes to blended classrooms that incorporate asynchronous instruction–but the school offers an enormous catalog of more than 300 courses, along with tons of extracurricular activities. Kids can choose from clubs like Coding, Chess, Dungeons & Dragons, Model UN, Musical Theater, and more. Meanwhile, special programs like the Polytechnic Academy offer virtual and in-person STEM opportunities, and Gifted & Talented helps advanced learners maximize their potential with supplemental courses.

Confidence Building

Unfortunately, common challenges like learning differences and bullying can make in-person school a stressful place for kids–often with a negative impact on learning. At PA Cyber, every family is matched with an Academic Advisor who prioritizes communication with parents and helps ensure your kiddo is getting the educational support they need. Experienced academic and career counselors are available throughout the years, and peer tutoring is an option for kids who might need a helping hand.

Personal support is also readily available to students–who can either reach out themselves or may be referred by a parent, teacher, or advisor. Counselors are able to help kids with everything from goal setting to anxiety management to conflict resolution.

Flexibility and Convenience

At PA Cyber, students can pretty much learn from anywhere. Pair that with flexible class scheduling and self-paced learning options, and students are left with plenty of extra time to commit to extracurricular activities, work, travel, or whatever else is meaningful to your family.

To ensure that kids are set-up for remote learning success, PA Cyber sends every student a tech kit that includes a laptop, a printer with ink, a digital writing tablet, headphones, and more. If any technical issues come up, the school’s highly-trained in-house tech team is always available to troubleshoot.

From graduation to prom, PA Cyber students come together for many milestones and activities.

In-Person Activities and Events

While technology really empowers PA Cyber students, the school goes far beyond computer screens. From orientation to graduation, students have tons of opportunities to spend time together in-person at local enrichment classes, field trips, proms, and many other activities. At PA Cyber’s nine regional offices around the state, students can attend art and STEM classes, parties, dances, family game nights, and so much more. Families can also choose from hundreds of in-person and online field trips with Family Link, including zoos, museums, waterparks, and historical sites like Gettysburg and Philadelphia.
