Support Beyond the Classroom at 21st Century Cyber Charter School
How Does 21CCCS Provide Students Support Beyond the Classroom?
21st Century Cyber Charter School understands that the support students need extends far beyond academics. Our commitment to holistic education ensures that every student receives the resources, guidance, and opportunities to thrive socially, emotionally, and personally, in addition to their academics.
Dedicated Academic Advisors & Supportive Mentorship
Each student at 21CCCS is paired with a dedicated Academic Advisor. Our advisors play a crucial role as academic advocates, offering support in areas like scheduling, coursework navigation, and personal encouragement. These strong relationships ensure that students feel supported in all aspects of their educational experience. Academic Advisors help students stay on track, fostering their success not only academically but personally as well.
Specialized Services to Meet Diverse Needs
We are committed to ensuring that all students have access to the services they need to succeed. Our Student Services Department provides a range of specialized supports, including:
- Special Education & Gifted Support and management of 504 accommodations.
- A Multi-Tiered System of Supports (MTSS) to address academic, social, and emotional needs.
- English Language Development (ELD) services for non-native speakers.
- School Counseling, Health Services, and a Student Assistance Program (SAP) to support students’ mental health and behavioral concerns.
These resources are designed to create a supportive environment where every student can reach their full potential, regardless of their unique needs or challenges.
School Counseling & Career Planning
Our School Counselors provide invaluable guidance in academic planning, college admissions, and scholarship opportunities. They work closely with students to develop graduation plans and provide support in preparing for higher education or entering the workforce. By offering resources and advice tailored to each student’s goals, our counselors play a pivotal role in ensuring smooth transitions into post-graduation opportunities.
Technical & Equipment Support
Upon enrollment, we provide our students with the tools they need to succeed, including MacBooks, iPads, and specialized supplies for art, PE, or science. We offer robust technical support, with assistance available weekdays. Whether troubleshooting issues or providing replacement devices, our tech team ensures students have the reliable tools they need for an optimal learning experience.
Building Community Through Social & Extracurricular Engagement
While 21CCCS is a virtual school, we prioritize creating a sense of community for our students. We offer a variety of student-run clubs and organizations, such as:
- National Honor Society
- Literary Magazine
- Yearbook Club
- Adventure Club
Additionally, we organize regional events and field trips across Pennsylvania, bringing students, families, and staff together for face-to-face interactions that help build lasting relationships.
Parental Involvement & Support
At 21CCCS, we believe that family engagement is vital to student success. Parents and guardians are provided with school-managed accounts to track their student’s progress and grades. Families are also invited to participate in events and field trips, helping them stay connected with the school community.
