PENNCREST Cyber Academy (PCA)
PCA is a public education option within the PENNCREST School District (PSD). Highly-qualified, full-time, and adjunct teachers facilitate all courses offered to kindergarten through 12th grade students. Asynchronous learning is the mode that students participate in courses, though synchronous sessions are offered and encouraged. Teachers have regular in-person, virtual, and phone office hours available to assist students in all aspects of their learning.
A full listing of student courses can be found in the PENNCREST Cyber Academy Program of Study.
Our Vision
The vision for PCA is to provide a rigorous education through virtual learning to encourage students to achieve academically and engage in a 21st-century learning environment while developing socially and emotionally to become lifelong learners.
