Student Services
The Student Services Department at 21st Century Cyber Charter School is dedicated to supporting the diverse needs of our students through a range of specialized services. Our department oversees Special Education and Gifted Services, ensuring that students with unique learning needs receive individualized support and opportunities to excel. We also manage 504 Service Agreements to provide accommodations for students with disabilities, ensuring equitable access to education.
Our Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) aims to identify and address academic, social, and emotional needs early, offering targeted interventions for student success. We also provide English Language Development (ELD) services to support students whose primary language is not English, helping them achieve proficiency and succeed academically. School Counseling services support students' personal, academic, and career development, while our School Nurse is focused on maintaining the health and well-being of our students. Together, these services form a comprehensive support system, designed to foster a positive educational experience for all learners.

Our school counselors offer a vital support system for our students with both academic and personal concerns. The School Counseling Department assists with college and scholarship applications and helps students find summer programs that support their interests. They communicate with each student to create an academic schedule that addresses individual needs in addition to graduation requirements.
