At PA Cyber, Educationa­l Roots Run Deep

-

Loretta Fairley, a 2007 PA Cyber graduate, shares how her daughters receive extra support and opportunit­ies through the same cyber school today. The Fairley family resides in Beaver, Pennsylvan­ia.

Why is PA Cyber a great experience for your family?

I attended PA Cyber for high school and graduated in 2007, and now my daughters are

PA Cyber students. When I was a student, I loved the school’s flexibilit­y and having the full support of the school’s staff. As one of the perks, I could take community college classes and earn credit toward both high school and college.

When COVID hit in 2020, Ryan and I considered homeschool­ing our daughters, but we

felt PA Cyber was a better fit. I always say that PA Cyber is the best of both worlds. You get the perks of homeschool­ing and the flexibilit­y of scheduling, but you get all

the extra support, too. I didn’t have to worry about the curriculum I would use and the lesson planning.

It has been incredible for me to see how much the school has grown. When I was in high school, I thought there was a lot of opportunit­y at PA Cyber, and now there’s even more.

How would PA Cyber be great for other parents?

PA Cyber is a public charter school, so all the materials are provided free of cost.

My daughters have received a laptop, textbooks, a printer, gym equipment, and more in the mail. They’re avid readers, and they love the PA Cyber Library. Having in-person events to attend has really been a perk. PA Cyber offers field trips, and the Regional Offices host in-person events such as ArtReach classes and career days. They also have clubs throughout the year, even in the summer. These extra activities help students hone in on their interests.

Visit pacyber.org to learn more and begin the enrollment process.

I always say that PA Cyber is the best of both worlds. You get the perks of homeschool­ing and the flexibilit­y of scheduling, but you get all the extra support, too.
