CCA offers Pennsylvania families a flexible, quality education for students in grades K-12 at no cost to families.
Exploring the online education landscape can leave you with questions like:
Cyber schools offer incredible opportunities for students and families alike. Some online schools — like CCA — give students a personalized learning experience that is adaptable to their unique needs.
Unlike traditional brick-and-mortar schools, online schools encourage students to learn at their own pace and in a way that fits their schedules. For instance, your child can attend live instruction sessions or watch recorded sessions at a convenient time and complete work asynchronously.
Online schooling also leaves room for in-person activities. CCA students have time to pursue their passions outside of school — such as sports, music, or family commitments — all while receiving top-tier education. CCA also offers clubs to allow students to make connections with their peers and explore their areas of interest.
Additionally, your child will receive personalized attention at CCA. Teachers work closely with families to tailor education plans according to each child’s strengths and challenges. Whether your child needs additional assistance or is ready to move ahead in certain subjects, CCA’s approach helps each student’s education be meaningful and engaging.
CCA offers a learning experience that goes beyond the traditional classroom. We give families control over how and when their children learn — all at no cost to PA families.
Each student is unique. At CCA, we understand that each child has their own strengths, interests, and learning styles, which is why we believe in academic curriculum personalization. We aim to cultivate an environment where each student can thrive and reach their full potential.
Personalized learning has many benefits for students, including allowing them to:
Personalized learning is also beneficial for students with special needs. With our dedicated team collaborating with families, the abundance of resources, and attention to detail, we can help each child succeed. Likewise, CCA also caters to honors students. We provide advanced coursework and enrichment options that allow them to explore their passions and challenge themselves. High school students interested in earning college credits can also enroll in Advanced Placement (AP) courses or participate in dual-enrollment coursework with one of our many post-secondary partnerships.
With our personalized approach, we connect education with what students love — sparking a genuine passion for learning. We also encourage students to think beyond high school with our Career Pathways framework and CCAWorks® initiative. These programs give students a chance to dive into various fields and develop real-world skills.
One of the concerns for families transferring their child to an online school may be the lack of socialization. Luckily, CCA students have many socialization opportunities — from field trips and extracurricular activities to internships and workshops.
We believe that online education opens the door to exceptional learning options for students. Our state-certified teachers are key to this unique learning experience. Each educator is passionate about teaching and truly cares about your child’s success — this makes all the difference in your child’s educational journey.
Additionally, CCA offers various programs and courses tailored to diverse interests and learning styles. We offer everything from core subjects like math and science to engaging electives like technology, the arts, and world languages. There is something for every student.
Innovative technology also enhances education. Our learning management system, edio®, was developed and inspired by CCA staff, teachers, students, and parents. Students log on to access live instructional sessions, session records, schoolwork, assessments, and more. Parents can also use edio to access progress reports and chat with their students during the day to check in on their work.
We know that students thrive when families are involved. That’s why we focus on creating a supportive environment for our students and their families.
Our dedicated family mentors are here to help guide new CCA families through the online learning experience. They’ll be your connection within the CCA community and will help you make the most of your child’s education.
To help students socialize and engage with each other and their instructors, CCA hosts many in-person opportunities throughout the year, including more than 900 field trips across Pennsylvania.
We understand the unique challenges military families may face. That’s why we provide tailored resources to ensure a smooth transition, no matter where life takes you.
