Third consecutive year CCA has been recognized by its staff for its workplace culture
HARRISBURG – Commonwealth Charter Academy (CCA), the most sought-after K through 12 public cyber charter school in Pennsylvania, for the third consecutive year, has been selected by Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business as one of the Best Places to Work in PA for 2024, among 37 organizations in the large employer category.
“CCA employs more than 2,000 talented, professional individuals who are dedicated to serving nearly 30,000 students and their families,” said CCA President and CEO Thomas D. Longenecker. “Our family-focused culture of respect, dignity, and professionalism is reflected in the growth in our enrollment and the positive feedback we receive from students and families. All CCA staff are to be applauded for going above and beyond for our families.”
Founded in 2003, CCA is a family service organization with an expertise in education that provides students and families with a high-quality, personalized, and flexible education that can be tailored to meet each student’s unique needs and learning style.
With its in-house designed and created proprietary learning management system and K through 12 courses, CCA employs state-of-the-art, innovative practices to prepare students to become socially responsible, productive citizens.
“CCA is not only the leader of online K-12 education, but we are unique among all public schools across the state because we place students and families at the center of every decision we make,” said Longenecker. “CCA’s success is directly linked to Team CCA’s commitment to serving students and families.”
Best Places to Work in PA identifies, recognizes, and honors the best places of employment in Pennsylvania in three categories: small employer, with 15 to 99 employees; medium employer, with 100 to 249 employees; and large employer, with 250 or more employees. To be considered, companies must be a publicly or privately held business; be a for-profit or not-for-profit business or government entity; have a facility in the state of Pennsylvania; have at least 15 full- or part-time employees working in Pennsylvania; and be in business a minimum of one year.
There were two parts used to determine the rankings. The first consisted of evaluating each nominated company’s workplace policies, practices, and demographics, worth approximately 25% of the total evaluation. The second part consisted of an employee survey to measure the employee experience, which consisted of 75% of the total. The combined scores determined the top companies and the final ranking.
“The 2024 Best Places to Work in PA know that the people in their organizations are the key to their success. These businesses realize what it takes to create an environment that results in teamwork and excellence,” said Suzanne Fischer-Huettner, managing director of BridgeTower Media/Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business. “Central Penn Business Journal and Lehigh Valley Business are pleased to join with the Best Companies Group in honoring these incredible businesses.”
