Education that is Affordable

It can be challenging for teachers to get a physical classroom of 20-some students working at the exact same pace. That’s why, here at PA Virtual, we offer live classes (synchronous) as well as self-guided work (asynchronous). Our teachers work with students and parents to find the best way to meet each child’s needs. Because of this flexibility, our students have no need to worry about falling behind or working too far ahead of their classmates.
