Flexible Scheduling for Elementary School Students
CCA believes in personalized learning because we understand that all students learn best in different ways and in different time frames. We believe that students should master skills at their own pace. Doing so allows learning coaches and teachers to identify students’ strengths and areas that need improvement.
CCA’s flexible scheduling allows for field trips, extracurricular activities, and volunteering opportunities that keep students engaged and help them discover new interests. These flexible learning options also allow families to choose whether their learners attend online instruction sessions with their teachers in real time or watch recorded versions. Moreover, depending on how your child learns best, they can choose whether they would like to learn in a one-on-one, small group, or whole group environment.
As you’ve seen in the sample school day schedules above, CCA offers fun extracurricular activities for its cyber school students. They can incorporate clubs into their schedules to make every day an exciting learning experience. Some thrilling and include:

Elementary School FAQ
You may have a few questions about how online elementary school works. Take a look at these frequently asked questions to get a better idea of the day-to-day.
How Many Hours of Learning Are Included in a Typical Elementary School Day?
As a fully accredited public cyber charter school that serves learners across Pennsylvania, CCA offers a full-time kindergarten program, and we offer elementary students a minimum of five hours or instruction and coursework per school day. Class sessions are only one part of the day’s offerings and not a requirement. The time students spend in real-time sessions varies by student. One of the benefits of a CCA education is that every student can work at their own pace.
How Long Are Elementary School Students on the Computer?
Elementary school students at CCA should spend 15%-30% of their school day learning on a computer. Students can perform offline schoolwork activities like writing, reading, and completing assignments when they are not using the computer. Learning coaches and CCA teachers should work with the student to create a balanced schedule of these activities and study breaks in between.
Do Elementary Students Receive Homework Assignments?
Yes, elementary school students can receive coursework, projects, and assignments outside of the instructional sessions with their teachers. With the flexibility of the CCA schedule, families can choose if this beneficial practice is completed before, during or after their live lessons. These assignments are in addition to our live lessons, and benefit students because they help them develop core time management skills and study habits.
What Is the Curriculum for Elementary School?
In elementary school, students have four core courses in language arts, mathematics, science, and social studies. At CCA, additional programs include art, music, physical education and health, and numerous other fun and interesting elective courses. CCA also offers world language courses for Spanish, German, Chinese, Japanese, Latin, and Arabic. The student’s learning coach will support the learner to establish an effective work routine so that they can work efficiently.
