21st Century Cyber Charter School

"The staff and teachers are amazing. My daughter was accepted to 12 colleges with three full scholarships and several outside scholarships thanks to the tireless effort of her teachers and guidance counselor willing to write recommendation after recommendation. I can't thank them enough! Her classes were challenging (especially AP), but teachers were always available through the Virtual Office to guide and provide assistance. I also appreciate the learning coaches frequently checking in to make sure my daughter stayed on top of her work. (Of course, my teen-aged daughter did roll her eyes every time she saw a phone call or an email from her learning coach)! The learning coach component takes the onus off of the parents for always being the ones nagging our kids to get their work finished. I love that accountability. Our experience at 21CCCS has been wonderful."

"My daughter benefited from the flexibility to do her class work at her speed so that she could do musical theatre and also travel. She enjoyed the independence. It seems that it is flexible enough for different styles of learners, but you do have to be focused on your education. If you are not good at self guided or can't stay on task, this type of school will be difficult. The learning coaches do help with staying on task ."

"Deciding to enroll my daughter in a cyber-charter school was very scary. I was involved in a very important project and I thought she might have benefited to have a flexible schedule and assist me in some phases of it. I didn’t know what to expect, but for sure I was totally taken back by 21CCCS and especially its teachers and programs. I really think they gave back to my girl the pleasure of learning for the sake of learning. Social Studies has become her favorite subject as well as math (she used to hate both). I have been involved with teaching on and off my whole life. I have very high expectations in this field and this school surpassed it. Their teaching and testing tools are so creative and inspiring! The teachers are so full of enthusiasm that it was a total pleasure to find the time to sit with my daughter and watch some of their classes. I come from Italy and I moved here 14 years ago. Education and schools are very different here than my country so this has been a learning curve. My daughter attended 3 private schools in an attempt to find what was best for her. They all had their pros and cons (let’s not talk about how expensive some of them were), but I really think 21CCCS is the best of all.!!! Thank you 21CCCS for making a mom and a whole family very happy! ... and by the way, this is the first time in my whole life I write a review, I felt this school deserved my time and effort to share what I feel..."

"My sister and I are both current students at 21st Century Cyber Charter School, and we love it. We find it to be a good replacement for both brick and mortar public school and homeschool. Since it covers the whole of Pennsylvania, there is a wide variety of students that we are able to interact with everyday and on any of the non-mandatory, monthly trips that the school sets up. Students can also communicate in live classes, clubs, or via school email. Live classes are held every week for most classes, but students are not obligated to attend the live classes. Teachers record every class, as long as they are not working on class assignments with attending students. In these classes teachers encourage participation, and elaborate on what the students are/will be working through in the lessons. All teachers are also available throughout the week to help any student that may need assistance with their work. The staff in general is very helpful, considerate, and kind to all students, and they all do their best to make the cyber school experience the best it can be for every student. Cyber schooling is a great experience for those who are looking to take on more responsibility or who wish to do other activities during the day like work or dedicate themselves to training for a sport. It may not be for everyone, but for those who are looking for a more flexible education it may be the perfect fit."

"Three of my children have attended 21st Century Cyber Charter School over the past five years and our experience has been great! My kids have had all the experiences of a student at a brick and mortar school and then some. This school makes students excited to learn and allows them to really connect with their teachers. The one on one time between teachers and students is a learning experience my kids wouldn't give up. This school is great for any student and challenges them to work hard and really learn their subjects well."
