A Blended Learning Experience Focused on Growth
Our focus is on student growth. It always has been. It always will be.
Innovative Curriculum
Our charter school curriculum utilizes a blended learning model that promotes growth for all of our students, regardless of grade level.
-
Live Learning Sessions
Our qualified teachers spend the majority of their days interacting with students in real-time through our virtual classrooms. The PA Distance Learning technology platform enables a variety of student-teacher communication methods.
Our live-learning model allows students to engage with their teacher and receive live assistance and feedback. This form of teaching also allows for increased student-to-student engagement as they interact similar to an in-person classroom.
-
Independent Lessons
The asynchronous portion of our learning philosophy allows students to complete work independently outside of the classroom and, more importantly, at their own pace.
As questions arise throughout the day, students always have the opportunity to connect with their teacher for assistance.

Student Experience
In addition to traditional charter school academics, PA Distance Learning also offers an array of electives such as music, art, computer science, and foreign language courses.
There are opportunities to pursue unique electives from hospitality and tourism, veterinarian science, and forensic science to financial literacy courses.
Students also have the ability to participate in a variety of exciting extracurricular opportunities through our after-school clubs and enrichment programs.
Safe, Responsible Technology Use
