About Us
In 1999 the Intermediate Units of Bucks, Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery counties saw the need for a cyber school to serve their students, but they wanted to ensure that the school offered a high quality education. These IUs, and their 64 member school districts, formed our school in 2001.The four IU Executive Directors, along with two school district Superintendents from each county and one parent, serve as our charter school board. Our Board has a tremendous amount of experience in education, and its members take an active role in guiding our school.
21st Century Cyber Charter School (21CCCS) is a Pennsylvania
chartered, diploma granting school serving Pennsylvania
students in grades 6 through 12. As with all charter schools,
we are funded by the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania, so
there is no fee to attend.
Mission Statement:
The 21st Century Cyber Charter School mission is to provide students, for whom an asynchronous environment is an appropriate educational setting, with an individualized learning program utilizing the latest information and communications technology. The basis for all learning plans is to maximize student achievement of the Pennsylvania Academic Standards while developing higher order thinking and complex problem-solving skills. 21st Century Cyber Charter School will assure that students master essential content and skills while preparing them for their future goals.
