Our teachers take a very active role in teaching their students, and enjoy having the opportunity to learn about the students as individuals. Although surprising to some, our teachers have shared that they get to know their students better in our online setting than they did when teaching in a traditional school. In most cases, the teachers’ interactions with students are one-on-one.

We have gifted and special education teachers on staff as well, enabling us to provide individualized instruction for special needs students. Our teachers are highly qualified and Pennsylvania certified in their subject area.

Our guidance counselors offer a vital support system for our students with both academic and personal issues. The counselors are available during the day and also have evening hours Monday through Thursday. The Guidance Department sponsors college visits, assists with college and scholarship applications, and helps students find summer programs that support their interests. Our guidance counselors communicate with each student to create an academic schedule that addresses individual needs in addition to graduation requirements.

Frequent communication is essential, as we have found it significantly contributes to student success. While email is our primary communication tool, we also contact students and parents by telephone. Our teachers regularly communicate with families during non-traditional hours to ensure consistent communication with the students and their parents. As some students work predominantly later in the day, our teachers have evening office hours. Each teacher is available at least one evening per week to communicate with students and parents. Monday through Thursday evenings there is at least one teacher available in each subject area to help students with any questions they may have.

Personal communication is one of the things that sets us apart from other cyber schools. Our students are important to us. The better we know them, the better we can serve them.
