Why Choose Us

Performance

We are the highest academically performing cyber charter school in Pennsylvania based on standardized test scores and our graduation rates.

Flexibility

We operate on an asynchronous schedule, which means you choose when and where you complete your school work. Jobs, sports, music, and internships are all possible when you create your own academic schedule!

Technology

21CCCS utilizes the latest technologies and tools for learning. At no extra cost, we will mail your child the hardware and software necessary to participate in our curriculum.

Academic Advisor

Each student is assigned to an Academic Advisor, who will guide and mentor students as they progress through each class. Communication occurs regularly between students, parents, and Academic Advisors, to ensure academic success.

Opportunities to Socialize

We host several events during the school year throughout Pennsylvania, offering students time to socialize with their peers and teachers. These are our ‘Community Outreach Events‘ and ‘Field Trips.’

Individualized Attention

Most communications between the 21CCCS community and its learners occur on a one-on-one basis. This means students get the attention they need when they need it. The quickest way to seek help from our teachers is visiting the Virtual Office (VO).

  • Middle School – Monday-Fridays from 8:00 AM-11:30 AM and 12:30 PM -3:30 PM.
  • High School – A general high school virtual office will be available Monday – Friday from 9:30 AM-11:30 AM and 12:30 PM-2:30 PM for general questions. Additionally, teachers will have individual office hours for specific questions or tutoring. Teacher’s office hours will be posted in their courses at the start of the school year.
  • Evening VO – Monday-Thursday from 3:30 PM – 6:30 PM.

Sports

All cyber charter school students are eligible to participate in after-school sports and activities offered by their home school district. Activities must occur after normal school hours.

Graduation Experience

Each graduate is invited to participate in our graduation ceremony, held in June of each year. This is an opportunity for friends, family, faculty, and staff to come together and celebrate the culmination of your hard work!

Customizable

Customizable curriculum at 21CCCS means individualized education. Because the curriculum for all of our core classes, and some of our electives, is written and developed by our staff, we can make adjustments and accommodations to suit the needs of unique learners, helping them to reach their full potential.
